Tickets available now for March 15 performance
“Ya Got Trouble” in Conway as the University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances presents Meredith Willson’s “THE MUSIC MAN” at Reynolds Performance Hall Sunday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m.
There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian. Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy “THE MUSIC MAN” 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 that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that 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 the librarian who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. Featuring songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Ya Got Trouble,” “‘Till There Was You,” “Pick-a-Little” and “Gary, Indiana,” “THE MUSIC MAN” is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
Produced by Big League Productions, veteran director Matt Lenz will helm this new reimagined show of a beloved classic. Joshua Bergasse, Emmy Award winner, Tony Award nominee and critically acclaimed choreographer, will create all new dances for the citizens of River City.
