THE MUSIC MAN, a Broadway treasure, loved by generations, previews November 3rd, opens November 14th, and runs through January 9th, 2011 at the Marriott Theatre, 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire, IL. THE MUSIC MAN stars Bernie Yvon and Johanna Mckenzie Miller, directed by Gary Griffin, and choreographed by Matt Raftery.
Award-winning director, Gary Griffin, returns to the Marriott Theatre to direct THE MUSIC MAN. Mr. Griffin, who brought CAROUSEL and SHOW BOAT to the Marriott stage, is the acclaimed director of THE COLOR PURPLE and a string of national and international hits. Assuming one of musical theatre's most famous and coveted roles, Bernie Yvon will star as Harold Hill, the fast-talking con man who matches wits with the Iowa town of River City and its lovable cast of characters. Mr. Yvon, a Chicagoland favorite, previously starred in Marriott Theatre productions of HOUDINI, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, STATE FAIR, THE PRODUCERS, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, Broadway's original production of RAGTIME, and numerous national tours.Harold Hill cons the citizens 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 piccolo. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen. Meredith Willson was inspired by his boyhood in Mason City, Iowa, in penning his first musical, THE MUSIC MAN. With a legendary score that includes "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Gary, Indiana," "Wells Fargo Wagon," "Ya Got Trouble" and "Till There Was You", THE MUSIC MAN is among the most performed musicals in the world.Photo credit: Brett Beiner and the Marriott Theatre
