Youth Theatre commences its 34th Season by taking audiences back to the classic musical era. 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. Directed by Zoe Wilson with Musical Direction by Matt Giles, The Music Man JR. performs July 14 through 30 at the Mercer Island High School Performing Arts Center, located at 9100 SE 42nd Street on Mercer Island.
Fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, 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. Her belief in Harold’s character just might be the tune that changes his heart.
