There's a new Sheriff in town! The Falcon Theatre proudly presents Tony-nominated Robert Torti starring as 'Sheriff Bailey' in The Root Beer Bandits. Families are sure to recognize the Broadway veteran from Disney's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and She's the Man starring Amanda Bynes.

Plus…The Root Beer Bandits has been exteneded through Saturday, April 7th!

This here's the story of a dreamer, Polly Peppercorn, the only girl to ever ride for the Pony Express, way back in 1860! Upon delivering a letter to Sheriff Bailey of Sarsaparilla City, a mess of trouble bubbles over. Ya see, the dastardly duo, Copper Penny and her bumbling sidekick Zeke, tip toe into town to steal the city's root beer! It's up to the sweet Miss Sally Sue, Polly and Sheriff Bailey to protect the city's favorite frosty beverage. Hold onto yer hats, 'cuz laughs are sure to be a-plenty in this high-paced vaudevillian show including a chase, a Ho'Down, a sing-off at high noon, and a surprise ending!

The cast includes (in alphabetical order) Susan Dohan (Phil of the Future), Tom Hines (Princess Diaries 2, Jan. 20-Feb. 18), Erin Matthews (Hannah Montana), Fawnda McMahan, Justin Roller, and Robert Torti (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Feb. 24-Mar. 25).

"Another kid-oriented winner from the Falcon Theatre!

This impeccably timed, mildly vaudevillian-style musical comedy…is presented with attention to every good-humored, good-natured detail."
