CHAMPAIGN URBANA THEATRE COMPANY
Directed by: KT Burke
Produced by: Chris Kreps
Music Director: Dave Ivy
Vocal Director: Jeff Dare
Choreographer: Whitney Havice

Presented by the Champaign Park District

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!

This award-winning, critically-acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution. 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 Champaign-Urbana Theatre Company (CUTC), first launched in the fall of 1991 by ten local theater-buffs, is a local 501(c)3 non-profit arts organization.
