Synopsis:
The musical begins on the morning of July 4th, 1912. A
railroad conductor announces the next stop, River City, Iowa, to a
coach filled with traveling salesmen. Speaking rhythmically, the
salesmen begin a conversation about the merits of cash versus credit and the ways their products and
lives have changed as the result of "modren" merchandising ("Rock Island"). One of the salesmen, Charlie
Cowell, asks if anyone has heard of Professor Harold Hill, a salesman who is ruining the reputation of all
traveling salesmen. Cowell explains that Hill moves from town to town selling musical instruments,
uniforms and the promise of lessons for a boy's band, and then leaves town with the collected money
before anyone has discovered that he is musically illiterate. As the train stops in River City, Cowell, who
has been trying to find and expose Hill, mentions Hill wouldn't get far with the stubborn Iowans. Before the
train begins to move again, a salesman who has quietly been playing cards grabs his suitcase and
announces that the conversation has prompted him to give Iowa a try. When asked his name, the stranger
flashes his suitcase, bearing the name "Prof. Harold Hill," and he quickly exits the train as it starts to move.
He finds himself facing River City's Main Street decorated with Fourth of July bunting and crowded
with townspeople. As workers move a pool table into the River City Billiard Parlor owned by Mayor Shinn,
the townspeople greet the mayor and each other. They sing with pride of their contrariness ("Iowa
Stubborn"). As they disperse, Hill enters the scene and tries to rent a horse and buggy at the livery stable.
There he meets his old friend and one-time partner Marcellus Washburn. Washburn, who knows Harold's
real first name is Greg, remembers Hill's last sales gimmick was selling steam-powered automobiles. Hill
tells Marcellus he'd be selling them still if somebody actually invented such a vehicle. Marcellus has given
up his old ways and settled down in River City to work in the livery stable. After Harold explains his plans,
Marcellus warns him to watch out for the town's music teacher and librarian, Marian Paroo as she'd expose
Harold's con on the spot. Harold asks him to point her out and then he sets about thinking of a way to
convince the parents of River City of the necessity of a boy's band. When Marcellus tells him about the
new pool table in town, Harold recognizes his chance. He begins talking about the trouble that has entered
River City in the shape of a pool table. To the fast-growing crowd Harold delivers a rapid-fire sales pitch
about the corrupting influence of a pool table on the boys of the town ("Trouble"); as the townspeople join
him, Marcellus signals Marian Paroo is passing by.
Harold follows Marian home; she rejects his attempts to start a conversation with her on the street.
As
Marian enters the house, Amaryllis, her young piano student, is playing an exercise while Mrs. Paroo,
Marian's mother, continues with her household chores. Marian tells her mother about the strange man
(Harold) who has been following her and trying to speak with her. While Amaryllis plays arpeggios, Mrs.
Paroo scolds Marian for not speaking to the man, criticizing Marian's high expectations, both for the
townspeople and for men ("Piano Lesson/If You Don't Mind My Saying So"). Winthrop, Marian's little
brother, enters the house and Amaryllis invites him to a party. Winthrop, who has a lisp and doesn't like to
speak, mispronounces Amaryllis's name. When she giggles, he runs from the room. Amaryllis, upset that
Winthrop never talks to her, starts crying and tells Marian she is worried she'll never find a sweetheart to
wish about on the evening star. Marian tells her to go on wishing, using the word "someone" until the right
person comes along. As Amaryllis plays her crossed-hands piece, Marian gazes at the evening star and
wishes her unnamed "someone" goodnight ("Goodnight, My Someone").
Inside the high school gymnasium, Mayor Shinn is presiding over the Fourth of July celebrations.
His wife, Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn leads a group of Wa Tan Ye girls and then, dressed as Columbia, leads
the town in singing "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean." As the mayor begins his recitation of the Gettysburg
Address, he is stopped by the constantly bickering school board, who remind him that the next
presentation is a Native American costume spectacle. The spectacle concludes with his wife counting to
twenty in the "Indian tongue." Before she can finish counting, young Tommy Djilas lights a firecracker
behind her. The four school board members begin arguing as the mayor again tries his Gettysburg
recitation. The mayor is foiled again, this time by Harold, who steals the crowd's attention, continuing his
earlier sermon about the pool table. He tells the crowd he has come to River City to organize a boy's band
as the solution to the corrupting influence of the pool table. He then entrances them with a story of when
six of the greatest marching bands in America came to town on the very same day ("Seventy-Six
Trombones"). The townspeople join in, dancing and parading around the gymnasium. The mayor, alarmed
at seeing the Iowans so excited, orders the school board to get Harold's credentials. As Tommy is being
led out of the gymnasium by the constable, he is warned by the mayor to stay away from Zaneeta, the
Shinn's oldest daughter. Harold realizes if he can make an ally of Tommy he'd have the town's youth on his
side, too. He quickly intercedes on Tommy's behalf and agrees to take
responsibility for the boy. Harold points out a passing girl and gives Tommy
money to take her to the candy shop. After the teenagers leave, the constable
tells Harold he's made a couple of mistakes: the girl is the mayor's oldest
daughter, Zaneeta Shinn and Mayor Shinn owns the Billiard Parlor. The school
board approaches Harold and demands his credentials; Harold, stalling
because he has no credentials, asks them each to sing the words "ice cream,"
which they do in perfect barbershop quartet harmony. Finding music more
interesting than Harold, the quartet sings "Sincere" as Harold sneaks away to look for Marian.
Harold follows Marian to the library where, before slamming the door in his face, she warns him she
will check his credentials in the reference books. The ladies of the town surround Harold, buzzing with
excitement over the band. Mrs. Shinn, however, is still withholding her judgment until her husband receives
Harold's credentials. When she moves her foot to relieve the pain of her bunions, Harold comments on her
grace and insists she lead the Ladies Auxiliary for the Classic Dance, with the other ladies as members.
Mrs. Shinn immediately falls under Harold's spell. She consents to head the committee and she, too, is
now an ally. When Harold asks about Marian, the ladies huddle together like hens and begin to gossip.
They accuse her of promoting Balzac, Chaucer and other authors of "dirty books" ("Pick-A-Little"). They
also suggest she had been involved with "Miser" Madison, a late River City resident who donated the
gymnasium, picnic park, hospital and library to the town. The school board appears, again demanding
Harold's credentials, and again he deftly distracts them by saying goodnight to the ladies, prompting a song
from the quartet ("Goodnight Ladies").
Harold arrives at the Paroo house. He flatters Mrs. Paroo on her facial muscles, suggesting this
means Winthrop will be a great cornet player. After Winthrop asks if the uniform will have a stripe, Harold
tries to engage him in a conversation, but the boy runs off. Mrs. Paroo explains that Winthrop hardly
speaks at all. Thinking Harold's gift of gab might mean he's Irish, she asks Harold where he is from. As
Harold tells her his alma mater is the Gary Conservatory of Gary, Indiana, Marian returns home and tries to
dissuade her mother from ordering an instrument. Marian gets angry when Harold asks to speak to
Winthrop's father, who is dead. When she enters the house, Mrs. Paroo apologizes for Marian's outburst.
After Harold leaves, Marian sends Winthrop to the library to get the reference book she needs to check on
Harold's credentials. Mrs. Paroo, who likes Harold, accuses Marian of not thinking of the future.
Tommy is making a date with Zaneeta as Mayor Shinn enters, complaining to his wife that Harold
has mesmerized the entire town. Marian appears with the reference book, but before she can hand it to the
mayor, Gracie, his youngest daughter, excitedly announces the arrival of the Wells Fargo Wagon. The
townspeople line the street to greet it ("Wells Fargo Wagon"). Winthrop breaks through the crowd to
express his hope that the wagon is bringing his band instrument. Harold hands Winthrop his cornet.
Winthrop, now seemingly unashamed of his speech impediment, turns and excitedly tells Marian how
happy he is. Harold hands out the rest of the instruments to the boys. He tells them lessons will follow, but
they should first get acquainted with their instruments and think about the Minuet in G. The mayor
concedes Harold has won the day but he threatens Harold with a grand jury appearance if the boys aren't
soon playing. The mayor then turns his attentions to Marian and he asks her for the book. Marian, grateful
to Harold for Winthrop's new found joy and confidence, secretly rips out the relevant page of the book
before handing it to Mayor Shinn.
At the young people's insistence, Marcellus leads the crowd in a new dance Harold has taught them
("Shipoopi"); even Harold and Marian join in the fun. The dance ends when Mayor Shinn objects to Tommy
dancing with Zaneeta. He turns to Harold and again demands his credentials. Marian, who has now
warmed to Harold, thanks him for defending Tommy. Marian invites Harold to call on her to explain the
Think System. The ladies, impressed with Marian after seeing her dance with Harold, ask her to join their
committee. They also mention that at Harold's suggestion they've read Chaucer, Rabelais and Balzac and
adored them all (reprise: "Pickalittle").
Winthrop returns home from fishing and sings for his mother and sister the song Harold has just
taught him ("Gary, Indiana"). He happily runs into the house singing the Minuet in G, followed by Mrs.
Paroo. Charlie Cowell, the traveling salesman, arrives and asks Marian for directions to the mayor's house.
He mentions he has information about Harold Hill's dishonest past, but only has a few minutes in town to
deliver that information before his train leaves. To protect Harold, Marian tries to delay Cowell by flirting
with him. She kisses him just as the train whistle begins to blow. As he realizes what she's done, he angrily
runs off to catch the train, telling her she is but one of a long line of women who have fallen for Harold.
After Cowell leaves, Harold arrives; he begins to talk about the Think
System, but Marian asks him to explain what Cowell has said. Harold tells
her not to believe rumors about traveling salesmen because they are the
product of jealousy. Marian agrees, telling him the rumors about her and Mr.
Madison are also the product of jealousy. Harold then asks Marian to meet
him at the Footbridge, a favorite lover's meeting place. She accepts. After
Harold leaves, she tells her mother she has accepted his invitation; Mrs.
Paroo remarks that the Think System, which she's been using on Harold
and Marian, really works.
The Ladies Auxiliary Committee is finishing its Grecian Urn tableau as the mayor enters with Charlie
Cowell. Cowell tells the townspeople about Harold's plan to leave town with their money without providing
lessons for the boy's band. The mayor sends the townspeople off to find Harold. Winthrop runs away,
stunned by the news that Harold Hill cannot lead a band.
Marcellus shows up looking for Harold at the Footbridge and he suggests Harold catch the last
freight train, which leaves town in a little over an hour. Marian meets Harold and when they are alone, she
confesses her love for him ("Till There Was You"). She also tells him she has known all about his phony
credentials for weeks. And as a final loving gesture, she gives Harold the page she removed from the
reference book. Marcellus rushes in holding Harold's suitcase in one hand, Marcellus pleads with Harold to
hurry to the waiting horse and buggy, but Harold doesn't move. Winthrop angrily asks if Harold can lead a
band. Harold truthfully tells him he can't. He explains he wanted Winthrop in the band because it was a
way to get Winthrop to stop feeling sorry for himself. Marian tells Winthrop that Harold has offered the town
a reason to be happy. She also tells the boy she's glad Harold came to River City as the constable and the
townspeople arrive and Harold is put in handcuffs. The mayor suggests tarring and feathering, but Marian
defends Harold, reminding the crowd of the excitement and joy Harold has brought to River City. The
mayor then asks if anyone objects to tarring and feathering Harold; the constable, the Ladies Auxiliary
Committee (including the mayor's wife), the school board, the mayor's daughter and Mrs. Paroo all step
forward. The mayor reminds the crowd of Harold's promise to teach the boys to play and as he demands to
know where the band is, the boys all enter in uniform and line up in band formation with their instruments.
Harold pleads with the boys to think and gives the upbeat. Miraculously, they are able to play a barely
recognizable Minuet in G. The townspeople, including the mayor, are all thrilled; all the parents proudly call
to their sons. The mayor shakes Harold's hand and the crowd cheers; the play ends as Marian and Harold
embrace.
Character Breakdown:
(What the Directors are looking for in each character)
Harold Hill:
Harold Hill is a great role for a young person to play. Select a boy with charisma and charm, who is
comfortable on stage. He should be a great actor, an average singer, and an average mover. You'll also
want to cast a boy with a changed voice. This character needs to be played by someone who memorizes
lines easily and has a good sense of musical rhythm. Your Harold should look good with your Marian and
the two together should exude a spark of excitement. Male Range: B3 - G5
Marion Paroo:
The role of Marian is a different twist on the traditional leading lady. The character progresses greatly
during the show, starting as an uptight librarian and transforming into a beautiful and trusting young
woman. Your Marian must have an amazing voice, be an excellent actor, and be able to move well. She
must also have an air of confidence that draws Harold and your audience to her. She will also need to be
comfortable kissing two boys-Harold and Charlie Cowell, which
requires a certain amount of emotional maturity. Female Range: G3 G5
Charlie Cowell:
Charlie Cowell is one of the premium acting-only roles. Consider
having the actor playing Charlie perform in the ensemble or as a teen
dancer or townsperson-just make sure it's clear he's NOT playing
Charlie Cowell in those scenes. Cast a strong actor with a good loud
voice who is a bit of a ham and likes being on the stage. He has to
be comfortable kissing Marian, and should have a good sense of
comic timing. Charlie is a good choice for an understudy to Harold
Hill.
Male Non-singing.
Mayor Shinn:
You may be tempted to cast an "over-the-top" actor as Mayor Shinn, but resist and heed the warning of
Meredith Willson. The actor playing Mayor Shinn certainly needs a good sense of comic timing, but should
be able to perform the role very seriously. Mayor Shinn does not have to sing or dance, but he is
responsible for a great deal of the pacing and line pick up in the show. Make sure your actor can memorize
long monologues. Male Non-singing.
Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn:
Everybody wants to play Eulalie. It's a great role for a great comic actress. Again heed Mr. Willson's
warning and avoid casting an actress who is over the top. If Eulalie takes herself seriously your audience
will find her hysterical. Eulalie does have some singing and some dancing, or at least posing. Make sure
your Eulalie works with your Mayor Shinn. Female Range: D4 - D5.
Marcellus Washburn:
This classic sidekick to Harold has been immortalized by comedic greats like Buddy Hacket. Marcellus' big
number is "Shipoopi" so the character has to act well, sing reasonably well (although a character voice is
best) and be able to dance. Cast the kid who is just funny all the time and you'll have a great Marcellus.
Male Range: E4 - D#5.
Ethel Toffelmier:
Ethel is Marcellus's girlfriend. She's described by Marcellus as "a nice comfortable girl and the bosses'
niece." Ethel has some acting, some singing, and some dancing. Ethel is also one of the solo Pick-a-Little
ladies. Make sure she and Marcellus look good together, think Ethel and Fred from I Love Lucy! Female
Range: D4 - D5.
Mrs. Paroo:
Mrs. Paroo is the conscience of River City. She is a great mother, stands up for what she believes in, and
gently pushes Marian to think of her future. The role requires an actress who can do a good Irish Brogue,
and who can sing and act. She should also look right with Marian and Winthrop. Female Ab Range: 3 Eb5.
Winthrop Parroo:
Winthrop should appear to be young, his voice must be unchanged and he should be a good actor.
Winthrop also needs to be able to affect a believable lisp. Winthrop has to transform from a shy child to an
outspoken child who not only sings but dances! Male Range: C4 - Eb5.
Amaryllis:
Amaryllis is the slightly bratty girl who studies piano with Marian. Amaryllis should be a good actor, and
roughly the same size as Winthrop and Gracie. Female Non-singing.
Tommy Djilas:
Tommy is the teen heartthrob in the show. Cast the best looking kid you have; with any luck he'll also be
able to act and dance. Tommy's love interest is Zaneeta so make sure the two characters have chemistry
between them. Male Non-singing
Zaneeta Shinn:
Zaneeta should be your best female dancer. The role is often given dance features in both "76 trombones"
and "Shipoopi". Zaneeta also should look like she belongs in the Shinn Family, although this is not
necessary. Zaneeta gets to deliver the classic "Ye gads" line! Female Non-singing
Gracie Shinn:
Gracie is Zaneeta's little sister. This role has one or two lines of dialogue and traditionally is the first soloist
in "Wells Fargo Wagon." Gracie can also understudy Amaryllis in case of an emergency. Female Range:
B3 - Eb5
Ewart Dunlop:
Ewart is one of the four quartet members with the second highest voice or tenor. He is married to Maud
Dunlop. Cast singers who can hold their own vocal parts strongly and worry about the acting later. Male
Range: E4 - F#5 Baritone
Oliver Hix:
Oliver is one of the four quartet members with the second lowest voice or baritone. He is married to Alma
Hix. Cast singers who can hold their own vocal parts strongly and worry about the acting later. Male
Range: E4 - F#5 Baritone
Jacey Squires:
Jacey is one of the four quartet members with the highest voice or tenor. He is married to Mrs. Squires.
Cast singers who can hold their own vocal parts strongly and worry about the acting later. Male Range: B3
- A5 Tenor
Olin Britt:
Olin is one of the four quartet members with the lowest voice or bass. Cast singers who can hold their own
vocal parts strongly and worry about the acting later. Male Range: A3 - D5 Bass
Alma Hix:
One of the core members of the Pick-a-little ladies, requiring girls with strong voices and a good sense of
comedy. Alma is married to Oliver. You can also add additional Pick-a-little ladies. Female Range: D4 - D5
Maud Dunlop:
One of the core members of the Pick-a-little ladies, requiring girls with strong voices and a good sense of
comedy. Maud is married to Ewart. You can also add additional Pick-a-little ladies. Female Range: D4 - D5
Mrs. Squires:
One of the core members of the Pick-a-little ladies, requiring girls with strong voices and a good sense of
comedy. Mrs. Squires is married to Jacey. You can also add additional Pick-a-little ladies. Female Range:
D4 - D5
Conductor:
The conductor has the first line in the show, so cast an actor that is loud and energetic! Male Non-singing
Constable Locke:
The Constable is a quietly wise man who sees through Harold, but doesn't seem to mind. It's a nice feature
for any young character actor. Male Non-singing
Adults:
For some reason, some kids just read on stage as adults. You'll recognize this quality by comparing kids.
Since THE MUSIC MAN JR. is about a town, you'll want to assign your cast into family units. Try to create
a realistic town with married folks, single folks, etc. The adults have a few lines (which you can distribute
while blocking the scenes.) They also have some solo vocal lines. You'll also want to select the Farmer and
His Wife from this group. Male or Female.
Traveling Salesmen:
Good actors needed to play traveling salesmen, especially salesmen number five, number three, and
number one (they have solos and lines). If you find it necessary to cast girls as traveling salesmen make
sure they play the roles as men.
The Teen Dancers:
Teen Dancers will be responsible for "Shipoopi," and have features in "76 Trombones." They are the
leading dancers in the cast. Two dance captains will be assigned in this group. Male or Female
Wa Tan Ye Girls:
All of your little girls can play Wa Tan Ye Girls. They are featured during Eulalie's "Spectacle" just prior to
"76 Trombones." Again assign them to families. Females.
