NMS Students Take The Stage For ‘The Music Man’

Dress rehearsals for Newtown Middle School’s production of The Music Man began last week, and performances at the school will start this Friday, March 5, running through Sunday, March 7.

The Music Man is a musical about a con man named Harold Hill, who goes from town to town selling band instruments and uniforms before leaving town with the money and not delivering the orders. Conflict begins when Harold meets a librarian named Marian, who discovers his secret. Well-known songs from this show include the dreamy “Till There Was You” and the rousing “Trouble” and “Seventy-Six Trombones.”

The curtain rises Friday, March 5, at 7 pm. On Saturday, March 6, the show opens at 7 pm, and the Sunday, March 7, show is at 2 pm.

Adult tickets for the show cost $13 and student tickets cost $10 each. All seating is general admission.
