Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory (FPAC), the theatre arm of Fairmount Center for the Arts, is pleased to present MerEdith Wilson's award winning musical, The Music Man, at the Mayfield Civic Center February 23-26 and March 1-4.

About the show: Winner of a Tony Award for Best Musical, The Music Man is an affectionate salute to Small-town, U.S.A. of a bygone era. The play follows the fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa. The musical is filled with memorable music-"Trouble," "Good Night My Someone" and "76 Trombones" -entertaining dance numbers, and a story that touches everyone's heart.

The musical features a cast of 44 actors, with Gabriel Brown playing the role of Professor Harold Hill, Leah Saltzer as town librarian Marian Paroo; Dan Hoy as Harold's old friend, Marcellus Washburn; Eric Fanchor as Mayor Shinn- the pompous local politician who is suspicious of Hill; Jessica Hirsh as the mayor's wife, Eulalie; EmiLy Wirthwein as Marian's Irish mother, Mrs. Paroo and Adam Gurary as Marian's shy, lisping brother, Winthrop Paroo.

Director and choreographer for the show is FPAC's Assistant Director, Bebe Weinberg Katz. Additionally, Jon Krol is the music director and Sean Szaller is the producer.
