The Music Man was produced by the WCT in 1971 and is one of the most beloved musicals of all time. It follows the machinations of Professor Harold Hill as he sells a boys marching band to the citizens of a small town in Iowa. The show features “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Goodnight, My Someone,” “Shipoopi,” and numerous other well-known and loved songs. Matching the rich history with the vibrant present, this show features two incredible talents. The WCT Board of Directors has asked John Cramer, our current Managing Artistic Director to star as Harold. Howard Bashinski, WCT’s most successful guest director will direct the show.
