Review:
Such `n Such's production of Meredith Willson's perennial classic, The Music Man, is a big, bold, rollicking entertainment. Director Arlene J. Wall, with choreographer Alisa Williams, musical director Kirk Vales, and a cast of 46 have staged a classical production of this 1957 hit.
Frank Remiatte was born to play Harold Hill. Sandra Kopitzke, with her golden voice, is a wonderful Marion Paroo. The large cast also included many familiar names and lots of new faces.
The Music Man definitely required the large stage of Lewis Middle School. Often the stage is full to overflowing with the whole cast.
