"Jesse" time treasured musical returns to the NAG

Tim Freeland — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:31:27 +0000

"Jesse" is coming to town again -- this time in a treasured musical retelling of the story of the notorious train and bank robber, Jesse James.

A rollicking good time for audience and cast alike, this family-friendly show is filled with great songs and dialogue that trace Jesse's life with his beloved wife, Zee -- including the Northfield Raid. Done in the style of turn-of-the century music hall melodramas, the audience is encouraged to loudly cheer the heroes and hiss at the villains as the story unfolds through comedy and, of course, tragedy.
