Talented performers in a high energy performance! The show reminded me of the old musical performance. I expected a more elaborate stage setting, but the performers did a great job with the smaller stage. Our expectations are based on experience with the Bob Carr Theatre in Orlando (previously season ticket holders). The performance actually exceeded my expectations.

My husband and I really enjoyed the show. The lead singers had amazing voices and the dancing was excellent. It was a wonderful evening. However, I only wish that the patrons of the show would have been more appreciative, and not gotten up to leave the theater, before the actors took their bows. How rude. The Saenger should announce that people please stay in their seats, until the actors leave the stage.

A neighbor and I have been seeing most of the plays at Drury Lane for the last two years. This latest one was right up there with the better plays. The energy on that stage at any given time is mind-boggling. The dancers are terrific. They do a very good job with a play I have seen several times before.

7 Brides for 7 Brothers turned out to be a very entertaining show. Chorography was well done, with lots of action throughout the show. Actress playing Milly did well. She has a nice voice. The actor playing Adam has a good voice, but gentle mannerisms. He was lack luster compared to Howard Keel's booming voice & stage presence as the leader of the brood in the movie role. All-in-all this was a well done and worth going to. You ll leave the theater humming one of the songs.

We never connected with any of the players. They just weren't engaging. Adam seemed really egotistical. The movie was better, an unusual thing for me to say. It's a good story, but there was no panache, no spark.

What a wonderful musical ! The choreography, dancing and singing was one of the best. What I really liked is that you could understand what the singers were saying when they were singing their songs or lines. The scenery was elegant and the sound was perfect. The whole experience from parking, p/u ticket window, ushers and play was very professional.

The production didn't disappoint! Being a top favorite movie musical of mine and my daughter's, we were nervous they would change too much in its stage adaptation. But they made the perfect adaptations, kept the best dances and songs and added new ones. We really enjoyed it!

We were reluctant to attend this event as the choreography in the original version was so memorable And fantastic that we were afraid we would find this adaptation disappointing. We were very pleasantly surprised and found the choreography quite impressive. The actors for the most part were well cast. We were seated in the front row and found it difficult to see certain aspects of certain scenes. The blocking could have been better as to allow for maximum viewing by the entire audience. This was an excellent production for the price and overall absolutely delightful.

With two talented leads, a band full of robust dancing brothers with beautiful voices, great music and choregraphy, and amazing dancing, a fabulous set - what more could you ask for! It was a delightful show that the audience loved! If you're not a lover of the 1954 movie, you'll be a believer after watching this show! Millie and Adam are wonderful and you are really taken in by the story and the characters. Grab your tickets before they're gone because this will be a very popular show!!!

I am so happy we didn't miss this show coming through Baton Rouge. We live in Texas, but it was well worth the drive over to see this classic. My kids (ages 9 and 7) are even bigger fans and danced in their seats to the music! With a very limited show schedule, you will do yourself a favor to find the nearest show and see this before it is gone.

It was absolutely the best musical I've seen!! The movie is my favorite and the actors brought it to life. The only thing I had an issue with was they took it to sexual with the couples and Benjamin could be a little more masculine.

I really enjoyed this musical. The actors did a good job. They made very good use of the small space they had. The dancing was great and so were the quick set changes. I am a huge fan of the original musical, so I was a little disappointed that they didn't sing all of the original songs and instead sang some songs I was not familiar with, but they still did great! This version had some added humor that kept the audience laughing. It was very good overall and is very enjoyable.

Never thought a production could be better than the original 1954 film, but this was,. Great casting, The leads were exceptional, the entire cast lively, the choreography even better then Michael Kid's original. Too bad a snow storm kept a lot of people from attending, but the ones who were there gave the cast a standing ovation - an enjoyable, fun evening!

7 Brides for 7 Brothers was amazing. The Singing and Dancing and Acting were as good as any Broadway musical that I have seen. That being said I have seen over 30 Musicals on Broadway. This show was such a refreshing surprise. Many times the traveling shows lack much of the heart that Broadway exudes but this performance was flawless. From the two leads down through the whole ensemble I couldn't have been more pleased or enjoyed it more. Thank You for an unforgettable evening. The evening that we saw the play there was a big snow storm outside. The trip was definitely worth going out in the bad weather. This was also our first experience at the Santander Theater and we were very pleased with the Theater as well as everyone who was working there. The friendly atmosphere just added to the incredible play. Again Thank You for a great evening!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the musical! The original 7 Brides for 7 Brothers is one of our family's favorite musicals and this one was every bit as good! "Adam" did an exemplary job in his role. The only downside is that it was a tad racier than the original and was unnecessary (the make-out scene with everyone on the floor) - could have kept that a little lighter, but overall I give it a 10 :)

Fantastic singing, great sets, excellent choreography and dancers. Everything was top notch!! We were blown away by the costuming and actors. However there was one point in the choreography that seemed out of character and certainly out of the time period this play was set in. This was the "spring" dance in the woods- felt too sexual and frankly a little uncomfortable. That was the only portion we felt was lacking. Overall we thought it was excellent.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is one of my friends favorite movies. I saw that there was a play in the Sun Times and thought it would be a perfect gift for Christmas and something to go see together. I never heard that this was a play before so I had no idea what to expect. I was just praying that she wouldn't be disappointed! Needless to say, the performance was amazing! The play held true to the story from the movie. The acting and dancing was flawless! Drury Lane is this cute intimate theater where every seat it a good one. It was a great experience, my friend was so happy, & I couldn't have asked for more! I absolutely recommend this play and this theater.

I took my Mom to see this play at Drury Lane, and we were both thrilled with the performance. The dance & song performances were top quality. The entire show was very entertaining with consistent high energy. You got a real feel for each of the brothers different personalities & several of the brides, as well. The sets & how they manipulated the various pieces was almost genius in the design, and almost seamlessly transitioned from one to another. The actors in all the major parts were a joy to watch & just drew you into the story. The actor that played Adam was incredible & the newbie actress who played the youngest brother's (Gideon) bride was perfect for the part. I'd go see this again in a heartbeat. While in the past few years I've seen 10 or so different plays at Drury lane, and they always do a really great job. This was my favorite.

The play was well cast. The actors played their roles well and had quality voices. I was pleasantly surprised at how much humor was used in the play, making it a fun and enjoyable treat!. Given the size of the stage, the scenery was extensive, realistic and added a great deal to the overall feeling of the play. The choreography was professionally done and the dancers performance was excellent and exciting. All in all, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers was a uplifting and enjoyable treat!

An excellent cast! Adam reminded me of James Arness on Gunsmoke. Each actor played his/her part to the nth degree. It was an updated version of the old movie/play. Great music,harmonies, emotions. Of all the plays that I've seen at Oakbrook's Drury lane my two favorites were MAME and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers! The latter being 1st choice for me! I HIGHLY recommend seeing it.......even for those macho guys who don't like musicals. They will certainly enjoy this one! JCDLL

I have never been disappointed when attending a play at Drury Lane and "7 Brides for 7 brothers" was no exception! The lead who played Adam had the most amazing voice and the rest of the cast was expertly placed in their roles. Everyone had so much talent and seemed to really enjoy what they were doing, which, I believe, makes a performance that much more interesting and believable. Cudos to the entire cast of "7 Brides for 7 Brothers."

This was me and my wife's second time attending a show here. Once again, the food and service was fantastic! The first show we attended was Miss Saigon - it was absolutely dynamite and hope it comes to the area again. 7 Brides for 7 Brothers was definitely a different experience. Although the cast and characters were great, it was not the show for me - But my wife liked it. The story line wasn't what I expected, it was directed more towards a female audience. It was okay to see once, but would never consider seeing it again.

We really enjoyed our experience! The actors and actresses did a great job with acting, singing, and dancing! The only part our family was disappointed with was the added scene where the brothers were dreaming, the girls dancing provocatively, and the song that was included in that scene sung by the brothers. That was unnecessary and added a raunchiness that wasn't part of the 7 Brides for 7 Brothers that our family has enjoyed watching for years and years! Those types of scenes (added into the program) are what would keep us from coming to another "family type" show.

My daughter and I escaped the malls and we journeyed back to Oregon 1850. We loved the movie and we loved this performance even better - especially with the added humor that is not present in the movie. What great fun! We even sang along to some of the songs and yes, people were looking - but with smiles.I think we may have started a tradition.

7B47B was a wonderful ride! The actors who played each brother and bride were well casted. Kudos to the lead actor who played Adam. His voice was great for the part. There were moments when I just couldn't hold in my own singing, so my wife had to endure my excitement. I did not totally appreciate many of the new songs because they felt contrived and broke up the flow of the story. However, one new song I did appreciate and allowed a further look into Adam was one in which he describes the relationship between his father and mother.

If you are a fan of the movie, like I am, then this is not for you. I was disappointed in which songs were and were not included. And why all these new songs added? I just didn't understand it. The dancing was decent and the comedy with the brothers was good, but other than that... you could skip it :(

The whole experience at the Drury Lane Oakbrook was fantastic. My wife and I go at least once a year. This musical was magical..from the first opening number, to the fight scenes, to steeling the daughters, (I was wondering how they were going to pull that off?). The music, and Orchestral direction were right on . Singing..dancing..scenes (changing from scene to scene)...ALL GREAT. Hazah! Hazah! Hazah!

We thorouhly enjoyed the play, with the leading lady actually a better more believable and fiesty Milly then in the movie version. The leading man slid into the roll very well. All in all a good casting and strong acting. I had seen the Debbie Boone version on a larger stage, but this one made amazing use of the small stage that the Drury Lane has with imaginative and very effective scene changes.
