The Music Man

With the Ocean City POPS Orchestra

Ocean City, NJ – The 2011 Summer Season of the Ocean City Theatre Company and the Ocean City POPS kicks off with one of the most beloved family musical comedies of all time, The Music Man!  This Broadway musical celebrates the Americana spirit and comes marching into Ocean City just in time for Independence Day.

The Music Man is a nostalgic, heart-warming comedy about conman, Harold Hill, whose scam involves convincing the people of River City, Iowa into buying band instruments, with a promise to create and instruct a boy's band. His wild scheme is flawed when he meets a beautiful and clever librarian, who rebuffs his advances and vows to prove to the small town that he is a fraud. This classic romantic comedy contains such memorable tunes as "Seventy Six Trombones", "'Till There Was You", and "Gary, Indiana".

The sounds of the Ocean City POPS under the direction of Ocean City’s “Music Man” William Scheible will soar. Director/Choreographer Michael Hartman is thrilled to bring to life this Americana story with a cast of professional singers, dancers and actors from the New York City. Kelly Swartz joins as Co-Choreographer and Jon Kreamer returns to Ocean City as Music Director for the cast.
