Selections from ‘The Robber Bridegroom’ This Weekend at SAS
Thursday, March 30, 2017
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Players present highlights from the 1975 Broadway musical “The Robber Bridegroom” at 7 p.m., today (Friday), March 31 and Saturday, April 1, in McCrory Hall for the Performing Arts on the school’s campus. The show is free, open to the public and appropriate for all ages.
The book and lyrics for the show are by Alfred Uhry (“Driving Miss Daisy” and “Mystic Pizza”). The music, which has a decidedly country sound to it, is by Robert Waldman. It is based on the 1942 novella by Eudora Welty.
The show includes performances from students in grades six through 12, including the final SAS performances by seniors Lydia Angus, Erin Berner-Coe, Caroline Graham and Jacob Sanborn. Friday and Saturday nights’ performances will be by slightly different casts. The show is approximately 60 minutes. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m.
