Hillbarn Theatre

May 3-June 3, 2007

Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson’s 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 he vows to organize – despite the fact 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.

    Hillbarn's The Music Man is one of those shows that really is just perfect for a family outing. It has a lot of splash and pizazz, humor, and a bunch of charming little kids in it to boot. The show isn\'t perfect, of course. It is too bad that pre-recorded music is used for the whole production because some of the flashy dance numbers could use an added boost of live music booming from instruments as opposed to speakers. Still, it\'s one of the better productions of The Music Man that I\'ve seen thus far. Highlights of the play include Mindy Lym\'s Marian and her stunning voice, choreography by the always-impressive Joe Duffy, and the enthusiastic ensemble for bringing life to their small Iowa town on stage. *disclaimer: as a Bay Area performer and director, I know some of the people involved in the cast and crew of this production.
