The Music Man

<p>I saw The Music Man Saturday night and loved it! My local community theater group just did it in June, so I practically had the whole thing memorized, but it was nice to see the similarities and differences in staging. The quartet was amazing, as was the rest of the cast. Loved the costumes. And the actual marching band and the twirler (go AJ!) in the finale were a wonderful touch, since I personally think Meredith Willson’s script ends a little awkardly.</p>

<p>My son saw it friday night and said it was awsome, he was very impressed with the performances and with the producition.</p>

<p>I agree with the above posts - Music Man was a great show. We saw both Friday and Saturday casts, and both were outstanding. Our S was fortunate to be in the show, so I may be just a little bit biased!</p>

<p>Music Man is one of my son's least favorite musicals but he said the way OCU did it was really good and he actually enjoyed it! He is a hard critic to please so I am betting it was great! MTpop he did comment that the quartet was outstanding.</p>

<p>Which part did your son play?</p>

<p>He was the baritone in the quartet. He said it was the most fun he had ever had in a show.</p>

<p>I know exactly who he is, and he was terrific! Like I said, our community theater did the show this summer, and we had problems with the quartet. Had to replace one in the middle of rehearsal. We thought they got pretty good there at the end, but after hearing OCU, I realize that they didn't! I was very impressed. It is a fun show; I'm glad he had a good experience.</p>

<p>I ushered on Friday, and watched Act II on Wednesday and Act I on Thursday, and during rehearsals I was worried that the energy seemed low, but by Friday, the show went really well. And mtpop, the quartet was my favorite part!</p>

<p>I was fortunate enough to see Music Man on Sunday afternoon and it was very entertaining as well as professional! I saw the show on Broadway and also on tour and I have to say that OCU's production was every bit as well done! My favorite part was also the quartet, but the entire cast was amazing. </p>

<p>Musicmom, I am glad I got a chance to meet you (although only for a moment). I wish my flight had not been cancelled as I was hoping to spend some time with you and the girls. Hope to meet up with you again soon. Your d is charming!!!</p>
