You can almost hear the 76 trombones now.
Meredith Willson’s beloved musical comes to Staten Island this month, when the Harbor Lights Theater Company stages a production of “The Music Man.”
An affectionate paean to Smalltown, USA, the musical follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boy’s band he vows to organize. By curtain’s fall, he is transformed into a respectable citizen.
You’ll be singing “Ya Got Trouble,” “Shipoopi,” “Gary Indiana,” and “Seventy-six Trombones” all the way home.
“The Music Man” at The Music Hall [1000 Richmond Terrace at Hamilton Avenue in Snug Harbor, (866) 811-1411], July 8-17. Tickets $30, $25 students and seniors. For info, visit www.theharborlightstheatercompany.org.
