Musical Theatre of Anthem announces auditions for The Music Man, Jr., a musical production based on Meredith Willson's six-time-Tony-Award-winning musical comedy about a fast-talking salesman who gets his heart stolen by the town librarian. Auditions for this no-cut production are open to actors ages 6-18.
Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he's got "seventy-six trombones" in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure? 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. The Music Man JR. is a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance.
