THE MUSIC MAN JR (2024)

Directed & Choreographed by Wesley J. Colford
Music Directed by Suzanne Doane

In the tradition of shows like Frozen Jr. and Mary Poppins, Jr., this classic musical is perfect for the whole family! Featuring some of the next generation of up and coming talent on our island.

There's trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian in this adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway classic.

Master salesman Harold Hill is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, 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.

From the Archives of the Sydney Rotary Club comes this iconic Broadway sensation. Featuring the HAT Academy Production classes and the finest up-and-coming young stars!

HERE’S WHAT PATRONS ARE SAYING:

“The future of excellent theatre is in good hands.” -AM

”I'm visiting from Calgary. It was an incredible show. These kids have an amazing amount of talent. It was so captivating. The vocals are beyond what I thought 18 or under would be capable of.” -JM

“Took our granddaughter for her 10th birthday, just like we have done for the last 6 years! She looks forward to a show every year! We've never been disappointed and every time she says, "that was the best one yet!" Thank you so much!” -NJ
