March 16 - 25, Fridays & Saturdays 7:30pm, Saturdays & Sundays 2pm
In partnership with Bay Area Children's Theatre, the City of Pleasanton Civic Arts Stage Company presents the youth musical theater production of Meredith Willson's ageless classic The Music Man. The show plays at the Firehouse Arts Center Theater, 1144 Railroad Avenue in downtown Pleasanton. The show opens Friday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m., and runs two weekends through Sunday, March 25. The production runs approximately 1 hour, with no intermission.
The plot: Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he's got "seventy-six trombones" in tow, that he needs to sell, and quick. This fast-thinking, fast-talking travelling salesman plans to con the good folks of River City, Iowa, into buying the instruments and uniforms for a children's town marching band which he vows to organize. The problem: he doesn't know a trombone from a toy poodle! And, of course, there is a hilarious love sub-plot: can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his overwhelming charms?
The story, music, and lyrics are by Meredith Willson. The musical won both the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and the Tony Award for Best Musical. Then came the film adaptation in 1962 starring the inimitable Robert Preston and Shirley Jones, which won the Academy Award for Best Musical Score.
"Exposure to classic American musical theatre is important to create well rounded young actors," says Clark when asked why this particular musical. "Based on Meredith Willson'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!"
