THE MUSIC MAN, with Book, Music & Lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, will be directed by Seth Renne at Gallery Theater, beginning Friday, February 26, 2016.

When smooth-talking con man Harold Hill (Adam Ewing) arrives in a small, tight-knit town, he expects to dupe its residents with his scheme. Despite his complete lack of musical literacy, he will convince everyone that he is a brilliant bandleader and recruit all the boys in town to form a band, pocketing the cash for instruments and uniforms. The problem? Some of the townspeople don't quite buy Harold's story. As he struggles to keep his scheme afloat, Harold also finds himself increasingly attached to the townsfolk, especially the beautiful Marian (Karen Kumley). As all-American as apple pie and as charming as can be, THE MUSIC MAN is a crowd-pleasing show.

Featuring Cody Kopp as Harold's right-hand man Marcellus, Melissa Thomas as Marian's mother Mrs. Paroo, Jasper Hitchman as Winthrop, John Hamilton as Charlie Cowell, Micah Porter as Tommy Djilas, Skyler Wolfe as Zaneeta Shinn, Kathleen Walter as Eulalie Shinn and Webb Thomas as Mayor Shinn.

Also in the cast are: Bryce Abeln, Macen Bittner, Jon Carter, Ember Eastman, Dawson Eckdahl, Joelle Eckdahl, Marci Ehrhart, Adam Ewing, Evan Ewing, Aliyah Ferry, Tristan Ferry, Keith Forsythe, Noah Gerbrandt, Sean Gerbrandt, Walter Haight, John Hamilton, Kevin Hamler-Dupras, Debbie Harmon Ferry, Jasper Hitchman, Brian Janssen, Kelly Janssen, Molly Janssen, Anna Johnson, Cody Kopp, Karen Kumley, Betsy LeClair, Micky Logan, Kylee Longaker, Seth Mayhew, Micah Porter, Mary Smalley, Caroline Smith, Caden Stephens, Leigh Thomas, Melissa Thomas, Webb Thomas, Elliya Turk, Nicholas Vece, Kathleen Walter, Cathy Willoughby, Matthew Willoughby, Skyler Wolfe, Caleb Yates and Jason Yates.
