The Music Man Jr
Music Man, 76 Trombones, Meredith Wilson, Youth Theater, Poison Apple, Lesher Center for the Arts, Shipoopi!

This Spring, Poison Apple Apple Teens will perform MUSIC MAN JR!! Based on Meredith Wilson's six-time-Tony-Award-winning musical comedy, The Music Man JR. features some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance. The Music Man JR. is family entertainment at its best – a bold, brassy show that will have the whole town atwitter! Master showman Harold Hill (Dawson McDonald) is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian (Shalimar Dusich), the town librarian, resist his powerful allure?
The story 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 he vows to organize. The catch? 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, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.
