*The Robber Bridegroom* at the Beck Center’s Studio Theater provides a boisterous romp. As Director Scott Spence points out in the program, the show, with music by Robert Waldman and book/lyrics by Alfred Uhry, debuted on Broadway fifty years ago. It’s a tall tale based on a novel by Eudora Welty inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales. It’s set in pre-Civil War days along the Natchez Trace. Nothing is safe from its satirical glance at life from Nashville to Natchez. Plantations, hillbillies, scheming females, murderous men, bandits,accents, romance, sex — well, almost everything, is fodder for the show’s heavy-handed humor — except maybe bluegrass music.
