Big laughs meet unexpected romance in Wisconsin’s Northwoods

A smash hit in Wisconsin and around the country, Lumberjacks in Love is a hilarious show filled with up nort’ humor and fun-loving songs. From the creators of Guys on Ice, this flannel-clad musical takes us to the Northwoods in 1912, where a camp of burly lumberjacks revel in their bachelor lives as the only men in hundreds of miles — until a special delivery named Rose shows up and flips their lives around like a flapjack. Nothing is quite like it seems for these colorful characters as they search for friendship, romance and truth in this irresistible, light-hearted musical comedy.

“This uproariously clever and funny musical…resonates with tender humanity and humor.” – BroadwayWorld

Reviews

“Bouncy backwoods folk musical... delivers [with] catchy tunes and… playful lyrics.”
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“From the start of this tongue-in-both-cheeks parody, the laughs keep rolling and rolling like lumber down the river. And it never stops, much to the delight of the audience.”
Shepherd Express
“The fun starts here immediately… driven by exciting toe tapping music that vibrantly ties the back story together.”
