About The Show

This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination…
With music and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and music by Alan Menken (famous for Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, and ‘Aladdin’), don’t miss out on seeing one of the most popular shows in the world brought to life this November.

Show Synopsis
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 that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that 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 by curtain’s fall.
