The Music Man Concert Version

University Theatre presents the concert version of The Music Man, directed by Maria Fenty Denison. Meredith Willson's six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation. The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall. The Concert Version features the Musical Theatre Ensemble, conducted by Kent Engelhardt. The orchestra will be on stage and songs will be sung in order with dialogue and movement in between pieces. One weekend only! Tickets at www.ysu.tix.com or call the University Theatre Box Office at 330-941-3105.
