4.5 stars. I've seen The Music Man (play and movie) numerous times and it is always a joyful, high-energy experience. This production was no different! I really enjoyed it. The performances were wonderful across the board.
I did wonder at the deletion of the first "Gary, Indiana" and the switching of scenes (different from the program). In addition, there were times when we could see the backstage crew standing on the side of the stage but that was probably due to our seats, which were all the way to the right of the third row, orchestra.
But, overall, a fun afternoon and a wonderful introduction to live musical theater for my grandchildren
(ages 5 and 4) who sat in their seats, entranced. Thank you for providing them with such a terrific and enriching experience!
