Salina South will present the musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers this week. The show is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the school’s auditorium.

Set in the rough-and-tumble backwoods of Oregon in the 1850s, where every man still took for himself, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a delightful story about creating civilization in the wilderness. When Milly (Addison Praytor) married handsome backwoodsman, Adam (Nick Salem), she had no idea she would be responsible for taking care of his six younger brothers as well. Milly quickly whips her rowdy brothers-in-law into shape, and show them how they can court and win beautiful mates of their own. Bursting with boisterous energy, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers features daredevil dancing, rambunctious fun, and heartfelt romance with a score including the soaring “Wonderful, Wonderful Day,” the hilarious “Bless Her Beautiful Hide,” and the totally absurd “Sobbin’ Women.”

The brothers are played by Nathan Zimmerman, Santiago Vasquez, Anthony Nitbouapha, Jacob Sweet, Kyle Dundas, and Noah Endreshak. The ‘brides’ are played by Courtney White, Bayleigh Hultgren, Lauren Zimmerman, Sophie Nelson, Albanee Garcia, and Whitney Turner. Their suitors are Nathan Streeter, Aiden Trumbo, Tyler Kirkhart, Leighton Cline, Trevin Sader, and Blake Jeske.

Other cast members include Ryan Brummer, Madison Walter, Eric Stockham, Amaya Dungan, Donivan Thomas, Alex Cosco, Nate Cosco, Devyn Donaldson, Thomas Flores, Brianna Fulton, Daniela Garcia, Colin Green, Casey Grennan, Brooke Grummert, Allison Hull, Melissa Lidgett, Kaylee Lovett, Maisy Lowers, Madison Price, Emily Ross, Marissa Russ, and Brandon Stewart.
