First Look! Get Criminal With Robin and the Seven Hoods

Rob from the rich, give to the poor and do it all with signature Rat Pack style? That's the premise of new tuner Robin and the Seven Hoods, which began previews at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre on July 14 in preparation for a July 30 opening. Now, from the West Coast, come photos of the stylish cast in action, channeling the sexily criminal vibe. Here's a little backstory to go with the visual aids: Robin and the 7 Hoods features a book by Rupert Holmes and songs by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, including “My Kind of Town (Chicago Is),” “Call Me Irresponsible” and “All the Way.” The story picks up when Robbo (Eric Schneider), a suave, fast-rising entrepreneur in Chicago's sophisticated nightclub scene in the early 1960s, tries to re-organize organized crime, landing himself on both sides of the law. The show also stars Will Chase (Little John), Amy Spanger (Alana O’Dell), Kelly Sullivan (Marian Archer), Adam Heller (Lieutenant Nottingham), Rick Holmes (P.J. Sullivan) and Jeffry Schecter (Willie Scarlatti), with an ensemble featuring Timothy J. Alex, Clyde Alves, Graham Bowen, Andrew Cao, Cara Cooper, Paige Faure, Lisa Gajda, Stephanie Gibson, Carissa Lopez, Vasthy Mompoint, Beth Johnson Nicely, Aleks Pevec, Sam Prince, Tally Sessions, Brian Shepard and Anthony Wayne. Since the show's reportedly eyeing a Broadway run, you'll want to check out these shots for sure.
