St Catherine’s Catholic College proudly presents Meredith Wilson’s ‘The Music Man’. Written in 1957 and standing the test of time, this musical is sure to engage even the most dubious of musical audiences. The show is a six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy that has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
The Music Man follows fast-talking travelling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he promises to organise – this, despite the fact that he doesn't know one note from another. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the lovely librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall.
Involving over 70 students as cast, crew and band, along with staff and community members of St Catherine’s, this musical has been a labour of love and a unique experience for all involved. Musical Director Betsy Atkinson has sung the praises of all involved and encourages as many people as possible to come along and enjoy the romance and music smorgasbord on offer in ‘The Music Man’.
“This has been such an awesome experience. The students have given this showt heir all and are so full of positive energy and talent. I have been humbled by the student and community involvement and can’t wait to show off the unique, gifted, hardworking individuals that I have the pleasure of teaching and working with” .
Our incredibly talented Music Director, Laura Robson, has been truly inspired by the students’ passion and commitment throughout the production.
“With a predominantly student-led band, this musical highlights the dedication and determination of young musicians performing at a professional level. Their skill and enthusiasm continue to amaze me at every rehearsal. It’s a true privilege to lead this orchestra and help bring our students’ musical abilities to life in a production featuring entirely live music. ”
