Celebrate the holiday season with one of the greatest Broadway musicals of all time, THE MUSIC MAN! It's 1912 and the lovable, fast-talking con man "Professor" Harold Hill arrives in River City, Iowa promising the townsfolk that he can teach the town's children how to play in a magnificent marching band if they buy uniforms and instruments from him. It's all part of a big swindle, but falling in love with the town librarian wasn't part of the deal. With classic tunes that include "Ya Got Trouble," "Goodnight My Someone," "Till There Was You," and the show-stopping "Seventy-Six Trombones," THE MUSIC MAN is an irresistible, all-American musical for the entire family!
Brought my daughter and we both enjoyed the show very much. Would recommend.
we enjoyed the show and the children parts added to an excellent show.
Good old fashioned musical. Fun for entire family. Well acted, danced and sung.
The Music Man was so lovely and such a great way to spend the weekend before Christmas!
Great music, sets, singing, dancing....the show had it all plus it was fun for all ages.
Enjoyed the performance. The singing, acting, and dancing was wonderful.
My spouse loves this play. He saw the original twice on Broadway . Enjoyed it very much and the Walnut street theater puts on really nice productions and they run well. Highly recommend productions at this theater as well as this particular show.
This show was an absolute delight. The sets and choreography was superb. So was the casting. The kids were a delight. I would go to see it again.
took my 11 year old son to see this play. i have seen it a few times in the past and this performance was the best!!!
the actor playing the "music man" was incredibly talented the orchestra was great, too
This is a fantastic and outstanding production - a must see.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the performances. Beautiful voices and wonderful dancers. The Mayor and his wife were terrific.
great sets music and costumes---characters animated and fast paced
We had a great time. The cast was exceptional. What a talented group of actors.
Every year I buy my grandchildren and their parents theatre tickets for Christmas. The first family went to the matinee on November 25th and the whole family really enjoyed it. The second family will be going after Christmas. Theatre memories last a lifetime, toys last about a week. This is one of the smartest moves I've ener made!
I attended this show with my 13 (going on 25) niece, and we both enjoyed it. Of course, it is quite old-fashioned, and I may have liked it more than she did, but it was a nice night out together. The cast was very good (especially the actress who played Marian the Librarian-what a lovely voice, face, and manner!). The sets were great and the costumes were really wonderful. We were sitting in the fourth row and they looked very beautiful, not tired at all. The dancers and orchestra were first-rate as well. The actor who played Professer Harold Hill was quite good, with an excellent singing voice, although he didn't seem to have quite as much energy as I expected in this part. He almost seemed distracted at times. Overall, I was happy to have seen the production and would recommend it!
Wonderful cast and production. Definitely worth seeing! The lead actors have great voices and the entire cast is very talented! A great show to see for the whole family!
Took my husband's parents while they were visiting for Thanksgiving. Their seats were in the front row and they couldn't stop raving about the show... the singing, the costumes, the live horse, etc. It was great to hear them bragging to the other siblings about how much they enjoyed it. My husband and I also enjoyed it... great old-fashioned musical. You will know more songs than just 76 Trombones.
This was our first time at a performance at this venue. We usually go to NYC for theatre. Very good, high quality performance.
Talented cast, fun show, fantastic venue, great orchestra.
