The Music Man
(Professional Broadway Touring Show)
April 1 * 7:30 pm
Adults $25 Students $20
Get in line for a one-night performance of The Music Man as the Broadway touring musical makes a stop in Blackfoot. With their own outstanding performers, orchestra, set, and sound, this show promises an evening rich in entertainment. The Music Man
is one of the most famous and successful musicals of all time. It's the clever story of a traveling salesman and his visit to a small Iowa town where he meets and falls in lov
e with the willful, spinster librarian. With his fast-talking style, "Professor" Harold Hill convinces the town that unless they adopt his revolutionary music program, the youngsters of River City will be forever doomed. Chaos ensues as Hill's credentials are questioned and he is called upon to prove himself to the citizens of River City. Composer Meredith Wilson's score will have you singing along to familiar tunes like
Goodnight My Someone, Till There Was You, Trouble, and 76 Trombones..
