THE MUSIC MAN Parades on at the Mesa Arts Center!

By:

Don't miss your chance to see The Music Man!

Playing November 4 - 20
at the Mesa Arts Center
1 E Main St, Mesa 85201

Directed by Damon J. Bolling
Choreography by Danny T
Musical Direction by CJ O'Hara

There's trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman comes to town. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, THE MUSIC MAN is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson's six-time, Tony Award winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.

The Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin!

THE MUSIC MAN follows con man and 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 - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, thanks to is quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, a hilarious gaggle of townswomen, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. THE MUSIC MAN is one of American Musical Theatre's treasures proudly brought back to the MET stage by popular demand for our 80th Anniversary Season!

M.E.T. at 933 Black Box


See SCROOGE IN ROUGE - our Black Box Season Opener!

Scrooge in Rouge is set in a raggedy theatre in England where the 20-member cast of "A Christmas Carol" has fallen victim to food poisoning the night before their performance. But as we all know "the show must go on" so the three remaining cast members unaffected by illness work hard to deliver a stellar show . The actors master a variety of gender roles while tackling more than 20 characters. The result is truly hilarious!

Directed by Jean-Paoul Clemente
Music Direction by Tristan Peterson-Steinert
