Join us Thursday, May 29, for "Whoa, Nellie! The Outlaw King of the Wild Middle West," a new musical at the Minnesota History Theatre!
"Whoa, Nellie!" tells the whirlwind tale of a fake detective (and former child performer) whose countless criminal exploits and penchant for male attire made her a Minnesota media sensation in the late 1800s. This fast-paced, funny and surprisingly moving new musical follows the path of the enigmatic and relentless “Nellie King,” the alias by which she was best known. Her reckless disregard for the law leads to disastrous ends and a powerful emotional reckoning. Along the way, her story brings to light historical realities around gender, addiction, mental health and celebrity that continue to resonate today.
Stay after the show for an optional lunch in the lobby, catered by Cosetta's! The director and actors will join us for an interactive conversation about the show.
