Seven + Seven = 4 1 2 by Ian Bonner It ' s 7:10 P.M. in the dressing room. The cast of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers shuffles and scurries in anxious preparation for the opening night 8 o ' clock curtain. Everyone chatters and giggles as they make-up in front of the mirrors and the girls touch up their hair with curling irons. In minutes, they change from street clothes into dainty and colorful dresses, fit for the 19th century setting of the spring musical. The men, dressed in modest, country decor of blue jeans and flannel shirts, eagerly wait to take the stage to meet their lovely brides. As the show is about to begin. Director Michael Steckman paces the vicinity with the look of hope and confidence on his face. But no need to worry here because his feelings were certain to match the outcome of the play as he expressed: It ' s going to be wonderful! The next two hours were filled with a pleasant down to earth story: boy meets girl and six other boys meet six other girls in a small Oregon town. Adam, played by |ef Betz. falls for leading lady Milly, played by Wendy Noll, and thus leads his six younger alpha-biblical brothers Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim. Frank and Gideon played by Drew Hildebrand, M. Brent Trostle, Bill Guntrum, Scott Carter, Ken Krawchuck and Bill Snelling, respectively, to pursue the six innocent brides-to-be who are instantaneously swept off their feet, despite unsuccessful sweeps by the townies. The adorable and fun-loving brides were played by Kathy Henry, Linda Powell, Sharon Bedner, Lisa Russoniello, Sharon Barr and Heidi Walter. The tunes are fun, snappy and as old-fashioned and sentimental as You Are My Sunshine. The brides sing with clear, unblemished voices as the brothers belt out the melodies in a macho a:nd gusty manner. The chemistry between the brides and brothers is also genuine and convincing. There is no doubt that this musical is good, clean fun with somethingjor everyone ( 1 2 out of five). 25
