There’s trouble in River City as Livingston’s Shane Lalani Center for the Arts continues its season-opening presentation of Broadway’s comedic classic, The Music Man. Remaining shows will take place weekends from March 3rd through March 19th.
The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons friendly locals into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – even though 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 Paroo, the suspicious librarian. Can Harold stay out of trouble? Will the band actually succeed? Do Harold and Marian end up making music of their own together? The Music Man is a delightful slice of Americana that has been enthralling family audiences for generations.
The Music Man runs weekends through March 19th. Performances take place in the Dulcie Theatre. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, with Sunday matinees to follow at 3pm. Tickets are $23 for adults, $17 for seniors/students/veterans, and $11 for youth 17 & under. Make reservations through www.theshanecenter.org or call the box office at (406) 222-1420. Concessions available. UV air filtration in the Dulcie Theatre and lobby.
