The Des Moines Community Playhouse presents Meredith Willson's "The Music Man," July 14-Aug. 6, 2017. Tickets may be purchased online at dmplayhouse.com, by phone at 515-277-6261, or at the Playhouse ticket office, 831 42nd St.

There's trouble in River City! Fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill (Brad D. Church) cons Iowa-stubborn citizens by convincing them to purchase instruments and uniforms for a boys' band. But his plans to skip town with the money are thwarted when he meets Marian (Katy Merriman), the librarian, and falls in love... first with her, and then with the town. "The Music Man" is Meredith Willson's tribute to his home state, and one of the Playhouse's most-requested musicals.

The Playhouse cast includes Luke Agey, Jonathan Allemagne, Dr. Kevin Allemagne, Madeline Rose Allemagne, Alice Anderson, Kelsie Anderson, JJ Binion, Leah Black, Kyle Bochart, Brian Bopp, Susan Breen-Held, Alison Buechler, Caitlyn Dean, BrIan Dowd, Jack Gabby, Jillian Michelle Gabby, Michael Garrison, Molly Hackman, Tyler Hackman, Melanie Hall, Charissa L. Hamel, Will C. Johnson, Greg Kephart, Elysa Koss, Keaton Lane, Jonah Larsen, Rob Larsen, Hannah Martin, Joseph Maxwell, Tess Meggison, Dean Messerly, Taylor Miillar, Preshia Paulding, Jennifer Phelps, Zechariah Pitcher, Taylor Rose, Maggie Schmitt, Najma Sharaff, and Connor Smalley. "The Music Man" is directed and choreographed by Steven Flaa, with musical direction by Brenton Brown.
