July 15, 2015 |

Clarksville, TN – Seventy-six trombones will close the Roxy Regional Theatre’s 32nd season with a nostalgic bang when Meredith Willson’s great American musical classic “The Music Man”marches onto the mainstage, July 17th – August 22nd.

Reprising his role from the 2011 national tour of “The Music Man”, John Adkison stars as fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill, who cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize … despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef! However, his plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for town librarian Marian Paroo, played by Mary Malaney.

Roxy Regional Theatre’s “The Music Man” stars John Adkison and Mary Malaney.

By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, “The Music Man” is directed by Tom Thayer and features Ryan Bowie as Marcellus Washburn, Tommy Winters and Leslie Greene as Mayor & Mrs. George Shinn, Madeline O’Connor as Gracie Shinn, Jackie Ostick as Mrs. Paroo and Tanner Sigears as Winthrop Paroo. Joshua Christensen, Matt Miazgowicz, James Hansen and Brian Graziani comprise the barbershop quartet, while the Pick-a-Little Ladies are played by Jewel Stewart, Debra Stewart, Elizabeth Worley and Jesse Boyle.

Rounding out this cast of thirty are Truman Jepson and Allison Ferebee as Tommy Djilas and Zaneeta Shinn, Lawrence Lesher as anvil salesman Charlie Cowell, Chip Perretta as Constable Locke, and Arianna Grey as Amaryllis, along with Landen Daniel, Ava DoVanne, Grace Hurt, Jacob Johnson, Sidney McCarty, James McNiel, Emma Petrie, Austin Stewart and Skylar Sullivan.
