Argyle High School Theatre's Production of "The Music Man"

Captivating and inspiring audiences since 1957, when The Music Man first premiered it won five Tony’s, including “Best Musical”, beating out West Side Story. It even won the first-ever Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album. The energetic and heartwarming story set in 1912 follows the antics of “Professor” Harold Hill, a charismatic traveling salesman who convinces the townspeople of River City, Iowa to buy instruments for a boys’ band he has no plans to actually assemble. Then enters the smart and local “Marian the Librarian”, and Harold discovers the magic of believing in the goodness of life. Harold’s transformation includes the idea, “You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to make today worth remembering.” And you will remember this experience! Bring your family, friends and neighbors to encounter iconic songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones”, which will have you out of your seat in Act 1, and “Goodnight, My Someone.” Even the show’s “Till There Was You” was famously covered by The Beatles in the 1960s. The January 2026 production showcases the deep talent, undeniable commitment and contagious tenacity of 48 Argyle High School Theatre Department students. In this production, 30 cast and 18 crew members are accompanied by a live 22-piece orchestra and orchestra conductor. This is a marathon effort, with months of rehearsals to bring this timeless, joy-filled musical to life. “It has been such a privilege to watch the cast and crew of The Music Man bring this story to life. From the intricate set designs to the powerful performances on stage, this production showcases the very best of our school’s performing arts department,” said Melissa Carpenter, Argyle High School Theatre Director. “I am thrilled for the audience to experience the Barbershop Quartet, the choreography and the live orchestra.”
