The Story

The story follows Harold Hill, a fast-talking traveling salesman, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band. The catch? He doesn't know a note of music! His plan to skip town with the cash hits a snag when he falls for Marian the Librarian, who aims to turn him into a respectable citizen.

Featuring the classic songs: "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Trouble," "Till There Was You," "Pickalittle," and "Gary, Indiana."

A Star-Studded Cast

Led by Elliott Andrews as Professor Harold Hill and Elizabeth D’Aiuto as Marian Paroo, this production features a massive cast and spectacular choreography by Emmy Award winner Joshua Bergasse. It’s a high-energy, colorful production that will keep the kids entertained from start to finish.
