Strike up the band, the Wilton Children’s Theater‘s production of The Music Man Junior hits the stage this weekend, March 14-16 at the Middlebrook School Auditorium. Show times are Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 4 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m..
Tickets are $12.00 apiece and on sale everyday at the Village Market from 12-2 p.m. and at the Middlebrook School auditorium from 6-8 p.m.. They can also be purchased online at wiltonchildrenstheater.org or one hour before show time.
The show, written by Meredith Wilson, 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. The catch? 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, whose belief in Harold’s powers just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.
