The Music Man Comes To Proserpine

The students of St Catherine's Catholic College are bringing a classic Broadway musical to life this May, with their production of Meredith Willson’s The Music Man set to dazzle audiences at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre.

Running from Thursday 1 May to Saturday 3 May, this beloved story follows the antics of con-man Harold Hill, who arrives in the small town of River City, Iowa, posing as a band leader to swindle the townsfolk.

He convinces the good people of River City to invest in instruments and uniforms. But his plans to make a getaway are thrown into disarray when he falls for the sharp-witted town librarian, Marian.

Full of humour, heart, and toe-tapping tunes, The Music Man features book, music and lyrics by Meredith Willson, with a story by Willson and Franklin Lacey.

St Catherine's Catholic College production of ‘The Music Man’ will be approximately 210 minutes (including interval), and the show promises a full evening of entertainment for audiences of all ages.

Bookings are now open. For more information or to reserve your seats, contact the Proserpine Entertainment Centre on 4945 0405.
