Ovation Theatre is proud to present our second ever Junior show the Broadway Junior production Meredith Willson’s The Music Man JR.
The Music Man musical tells the story of charismatic con man Harold Hill who galvanizes a stodgy, entertainment-starved Iowa town at the turn of the 20th century. Intending to fleece River City’s citizens with a false scheme to organize a boys’ band, Hill’s plans hit a sour note when he falls for Marian, the town librarian.
With book, music and lyrics by Meredith Willson, and story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, The Music Man JR. is based on Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, which won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, Author, Composer and Lyricist. The musical was turned into a 1962 film starring Robert Preston as Harold Hill and Shirley Jones as Marian Paroo. The film has since been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
