Can’t wait to see ‘The
Music Man’!

At
first I didn’t think I knew much about The
Music Man but I learned a lot after I looked up the plot. I didn’t
recognize the musical because the last time I had seen it was in the 7th grade.
Once I read the plot, memories started coming back to me.
The Music Man is about a salesman named Harold Hill who
wants to convince the town to start a boys’ marching band. He plans to start
the group so he can charge them for the equipment and leave with the profits
because he cannot train the band to play music. He then falls for the beautiful
librarian, Marian, who suspects that he will leave with the money. The musical
describes his decision to stay with Marian and train the band or take the money
and run.
Badin
Drama will be performing The Music Man premiering
on March 7th. Senior Patrick Kuhl is starring as Professor Harold Hill and
sophomore Anna Schindler is Marian the Librarian.
According
to senior Tori Getz, the musical is going well. Getz said, “The play is very
interesting and should be entertaining to the audience.” Tori plays the role of
Alma Hix, an older woman who likes to spread gossip and cause trouble.
I
can’t wait to see the production when it is finally finished. It will certainly
bring back the good memories of my first encounter with The Music Man.
The
Music Man will be performed Thursday through Saturday, March 7-9, at 7:30 p.m.,
and Sunday, March 10, at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 apiece, or a group of six or
more for $8 each.
