Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Showboat Majestic’s THE MUSIC MAN as a recommended production.
This classic American musical follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef.
Panelists praised the production as “delightful,” “high-energy” and “enthusiastic,” with innovative choreography and staging using the Showboat stage to its full potential.
THE MUSIC MAN continues through September 30th. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com/sbm.
Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.
The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.
