New York based Choreographer Shea Sullivan announced today that she choreographed the newly crowned Miss America's talent routine to James Brown's Get Up Off Of That Thing for competition.

In this retelling of Meredith Wilson's 'The Music Man,' with early 20th century Midwest slang and an almost too quick gift-wrapped resolution, director Mark Martino and choreographer Shea Sullivan were able to successfully breathe new life into a script and score that, especially for younger audiences, could so easily remain stale.

The beloved family musical The Music Man performs November 27 through December 16 and this classic American musical takes audiences on a toe-tapping adventure with fast-talking salesman Professor Harold Hill, who convinces the townspeople of River City, Iowa that they need a band, instruments and uniforms. His plans to skip town with their money come to a crashing halt when he falls in love and has to face the music.

Constantine Rousouli (Ghost) joins previously announced Tom Deckman (Spamalot), Jeff Hiller (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Silence!), Michael James Scott( Book of Mormon), Tyler Maynard (Altar Boyz, Little Mermaid) , Tony Sheldon (Priscilla Queen of the Desert), David Turner(On a Clear Day, Arcadia, The Ritz) for the 'Pageant, the Musical' readings.
