Clarksville, TN – While seventy-six trombones would not fit on the Roxy Regional Theatre’s current stage, this has proved no obstacle to nearly two dozen talented youth from our community in taking on Meredith Willson’s Tony Award-winning classic about a fast-talking salesman who gets his heart stolen by the town librarian.
The Music Man JR. opens at the Roxy Regional Theatre’s temporary home at 114 Public Square this Friday, May 8th at 7:00pm. Tickets are going quickly for all performances, so we strongly recommend early reservations!
As opening night is nearly sold out, our $5.00 Ticket Rush for The Music Man JR. will be held next Thursday, May 14th. All tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 6:30pm next Thursday for a $5.00 minimum donation.

In this 70-minute adaptation of the Broadway musical, master showman Harold Hill arrives in town and 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 take an unexpected turn when he meets town librarian Marian Paroo. Featuring some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance, this toe-tapping crowd-pleaser is family entertainment at its best!
Directed by Ashley Birnbaum with music direction by Erika Milner and choreography by Alex Vanburen, The Music Man JR. features Ashton Bickham as fast-talking Harold Hill and Natalie Shasserre as librarian Marian Paroo. The rest of the River City ensemble and characters are rounded out by local youths Malin Barnhill, Atticus Blot, Aiyana Cotton, Calvin Davis, Kyler Fewox, Zoë Fewox, Elisabeth Groves, Avery Johnson, Izzy Kelly, Jaxson Kindle, Kirra Martinez, Cooper Maurer, Adah Morris, Ryan Victoria Nelson, Noah Owens, Reese Pegram, Colten Schafer, Vivienne Vazquez and Asher Zeliadt, while Jordynne Kroll and Micah Uthlaut serve as the production’s understudies.
Written by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, with music and lyrics by Meredith Willson, The Music Man JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI, www.mtishows.com.
