THE MUSIC MAN Begins Tonight at Grove Theatre
The Grove Theatre presents "The Music Man," opening tonight, July 17th and running on weekends through August 2nd.
The Music Man 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 - despite the fact 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 the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen. The Music Man is family entertainment at its best.
The best known song is undoubtedly SEVENTY-SIX TROMBONES, sung by Harold as he portrays the vision of a boys' Town Band full of the instruments and uniforms he persuaded their mothers and fathers to buy. Other songs include GOOD-NIGHT MY SOMEONE, GOODNIGHT LADIES, GARY, INDIANA and TILL THERE WAS YOU.
Tickets are $20 and $25 with senior, student and group discounts, and can be purchased by calling (909) 920-4343, by visiting The Grove box office or on line at www.grovetheatre.com. The Grove Theatre is located at 276 E. Ninth Street, Upland, CA 91786.
