Story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey

Overview / Synopsis

Meredith Willson's The Music Man is one of Broadway’s most enduring shows. Set in Iowa, this enjoyable look at small-town U.S.A. and a bygone era follows fast-talking salesman Harold Hill as he cons the townspeople of River City into forming a boys’ band.

The Tony Award-winning The Music Man originally ran on Broadway starting in 1957 for 1,375 performances. Over the years, the cast has included Robert Preston, Barbara Cook, Dick Van Dyke, Craig Bierko and Rebecca Luker. The 1962 film adaptation starring Robert Preston and Shirley Jones was an Academy Award and Golden Globe winner.

The Broadway Junior Collection now offers this classic musical in a format perfect for younger actors. The Music Man Junior is the authorized young performer’s edition of this charming story. Bring the world of theatre to your very own backyard with The Music Man Junior.

Cast of Characters

	Harold Hill is great role for a young person to play. An average singer, but a great actor with charisma and charm.

	Marian Paroo starts as an uptight librarian and transforms into a beautiful young woman. Your Marian must have an amazing voice, and an air of confidence that draws Harold to her.

	Charlie Cowell is an acting-only role requiring a bit of a ham with a good sense of comic timing.

	Mayor Shinn does not have to sing or dance. Needs a good sense of comic timing BUT must perform the role very seriously.

	Eulalie Shinn, played by a comic actress who can take the character seriously, will be hysterical to the audience.

	Marcellus Washburn is featured in the big number "Shipoopi." He must act well, sing well (a character voice is best), and be able to dance.

	Ethel is Marcellus’s girlfriend, described as "a nice comfortable girl."

	Mrs. Paroo is the conscience of River City, and requires an actress who can perform with a good Irish brogue.

	Winthrop requires a young actor with an unchanged voice able to affect a believable lisp.

	FEATURED ENSEMBLE:
	Amaryllis is a role that demands a good actor, roughly the same size as Winthrop.

	The School Board must be able to hold their parts in the brief a cappella portion of "Sincere."

	Tommy Djilas, the 'hearthrob' of the show, needs to be able to act and dance with his love interest, Zaneeta.

	Zaneeta Shinn should be played by the best female dancer in the show. Featured in "76 Trombones" and "Shipoopi," she must have chemistry with Tommy.

	Gracie Shinn is traditionally the first soloist in "Wells Fargo Wagon." She is Zaneeta’s younger sister.

	Pick-a-Little Ladies must be strong singers with a good sense of comedy.

	Constable Locke is a quietly wise man who sees through Harold, but doesn’t seem to mind.

	Conductor is loud and energetic, starts the show.

	Townspeople, Salesmen, Band Members, Teen Dancers
