The Music Man
November 14th - 15th, 2025
The Music Man features some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance. This is family entertainment at its best — a bold, brassy show that will have the whole town atwitter!
A master showman is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize. The catch? 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, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

Harold Hill: Our story's unsuspecting protagonist. A con man, traveling under the auspices of a salesman, he eventually falls in love with Marian Paroo. Charismatic and charming. The role of Harold should be played by someone who can memorize well as this role has lots of songs and monologues.
Marian Paroo: The role of Marian is a different twist on the traditional leading lady. The character progresses greatly during the show, starting as an uptight librarian and transforming into a beautiful and trusting young woman. Your Marian must have an amazing voice, be an excellent actor, and be able to move well.
Charlie Cowell: A traveling salesmen who is on to Harold Hill's schemes. Tirelessy attempts to prove to everyone the true con man behind Harold Hill.
Mayor Shinn: A blustery politician who is all too "self-important." Begrudgingly married to Eulalie, he is skeptical of the town rumor mill.
Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn: Mayor Shinn's peacock wife. A serial gossiper and snob, she has trouble keeping her opinions to herself.
Marcellus Washburn: Harold's chummy old friend and former con man, he now lives in River City and is trying to settle down. This classic sidekick to Harold has been immortalized by comedic greats like Buddy Hacket. Marcellus' big number is "Shipoopi" so the character has to act well, sing reasonably well (although a character voice is best) and be able to dance.
Ethel Toffelmier: Ethel is Marcellus's girlfriend. She's described by Marcellus as "a nice comfortable girl and the bosses' niece." Ethel has some acting, some singing, and some dancing. Ethel is also one of the solo Pick-a-Little ladies.
Mrs. Paroo: The conscience of River City. She is a great mother, stands up for what she believes in, and gently pushes Marian to think of her future. The role requires an actress who can do a good Irish Brogue, and who can sing and act.
Winthrop Paroo: Marian's baby brother, he is very shy because of a noticeable lisp. Embraces Harold Hill and the marching band.
Amaryllis: Amaryllis is the slightly bratty girl who studies piano with Marian. Should be a good singer.
Ewart Dunlop
Ewart is one of the four quartet members with the second highest voice or tenor. He is married to Maud Dunlop.

Zaneeta Shinn
Zaneeta should be the best female dancer. The role is often given dance features in both "76 trombones" and "Shipoopi".
Gracie Shinn
Gracie is Zaneeta's little sister. This role has one or two lines of dialogue and traditionally is the first soloist in "Wells Fargo Wagon."
Alma Hix
One of the core members of the Pick-a-little ladies, requiring girls with strong voices and a good sense of comedy. Alma is married to Oliver.
Maud Dunlop
One of the core members of the Pick-a-little ladies, requiring girls with strong voices and a good sense of comedy. Maud is married to Ewart.
Mrs. Squires
One of the core members of the Pick-a-little ladies, requiring girls with strong voices and a good sense of comedy. Mrs. Squires is married to Jacey.
Conductor
The conductor has the first line in the show, so cast an actor that is loud and energetic!
Constable Locke
The Constable is a quietly wise man who sees through Harold, but doesn't seem to mind. It's a nice feature for any young character actor.
Ensemble
The Ensemble is comprised of Adult-types, teens and kids to play townspeople, traveling salesmen, teen dancers, Wa Tan Ye girls and the boys' band. Can accommodate additional Pick-a-little ladies
Traveling Salesmen
Good actors will be cast to play traveling salesmen, especially salesmen number five, number three, and number one.
Teen Dancers
A group of the best dancers. The Teen Dancers will be responsible for "Shipoopi," and have features in "76 Trombones."
