"Backwoodsman Adam Pontipee struts down from his mountain to find himself a bride from town," according to press notes. "It’s love at first sight for Millie, a sweet and sassy gal who happily marries him and heads back up the mountain for an idyllic life with Adam. And his six brothers? Add six abductions of six town beauties, an avalanche, and a long, long winter for one of the greatest dance shows of the summer. This is the barn-raising, axe-jumping seven times everything musical!"

Paul Blake produces; Mike Bosner is associate producer.

The season will conclude with Bye Bye Birdie, Aug. 8-14.

This season marks Paul Blake's last as executive producer of The Muny. Mike Isaacson will succeed Blake beginning with the 2012 season at the St. Louis theatre. Blake has served as executive producer of The Muny since 1990.
