Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of Moonlight Stage Productions' THE MUSIC MAN

Moonlight Stage Productions presents "The Music Man," a classic that is as American as apple pie. The show 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 that he will lead. The catch is he doesn't know the difference between a trombone and a treble clef! Before he can skip town, the town librarian steals Hill's heart and transforms him into a respectable citizen. "The Music Man" is family entertainment at its very best. "The Music Man" runs July 15 through August 1, 2015 under the stars at Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista, Calif. All performances begin at 8 p.m. Single tickets are priced $24 to $52. To purchase tickets or for more information, call (760) 724-2110 or visit http://www.moonlightstage.com.

The cast for "The Music Man" includes: David Engel (Harold Hill); Alessa Neeck (Marian Paroo); Bryan Banville (Marcellus Washburn); Jim Chovick (Mayor Shinn); Tracy Lore (Eulalie Shinn); Susan Stuber (Mrs. Paroo); Elliot Weaver (Winthrop Paroo); Koda Montoya (Tommy Djilas); Emma Nossal (Zaneeta Shinn); Maxine Sutton (Amaryllis); and Paul Morgavo (Charlie Cowell).

Production and Design team includes: John Vaughan, director and choreographer; Elan McMahan, musical director and conductor; Paul A. Canaletti, Jr., lighting designer; Chriss Luessman and Kim Zadai, sound designers; Carlotta Malone, Roz Lehman and Renetta Lloyd, costume coordinators; and Craig Campbell, stage manager.
