Preview of Artful Living's 'The Music Man' July 28-30

There's trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian!

Artful Living presents

The Music Man

July 28-30

Tickets and details now available at www.ArtfulLivingCT.com

Really funny with a lush score played by a full professional orchestra and unforgettable songs such as "Till There Was You," “Shipoopi,” and "Seventy-six Trombones," this musical sensation is a treat for the entire family.

Support Community Theater at its best with 100+ residents from across the shoreline and up the CT River in this toe-tapping adventure with fast-talking salesman Professor Harold Hill, who convinces the townspeople of River City, Iowa that they need a band, instruments and uniforms. But Harold is no musician. His plans to skip town with their money comes to a crashing halt when he falls in love and has to face the music.
Producer, Chris Solimene shares, “The truly inspiring truth of “The Music Man” is the lesson we learn about being transformed when we ‘face the music’ – the hope we have in being able to change like Harold. I’ve heard this story described as being truly different than a fairytale; it’s about finding strength in the realization that actions have consequences.”

Sponsored in part by Shore Publishing. Directed by Chris Solimene, Musical Directed by Joel Spineti. Choreographed by Paola Rarick.
