Whoa, Nellie! The Outlaw King of the Wild Middle West
Book, Lyrics and Music by Josef Evans
Directed by Laura Leffler
Music Directed by Amanda Weis
Choreographer and Associate Direction by Joey Miller
May 17–June 8, 2025
Whoa, Nellie! tells the rip-roaring musical tale of Nellie King, the “wily and scandalous female cowboy detective” whose countless criminal exploits and penchant for male attire made her an 1800s Minnesota media icon. By turns hilarious, tuneful, and deeply emotional, this grand spectacle resurrects an array of vaudevillian superstars to share a story of surprising contemporary resonance. Plumbing the depths of America’s obsession with celebrity, the show reveals potent historical truths around gender, addiction, mental health, and media sensationalism, as it follows Nellie’s desperate pursuit of the love, acceptance and transcendent immortality it promises.
