Amy O'Brien and Olivia Loftin of Zachary Elementary School and Collin Delhom and Nash Joyner of Northwestern Middle will be performing in the Baton Rouge Little Theatre's Young Actors Program in Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man Jr. beginning Friday, May 11.

The four local actors/singers are part of an all kid cast which opens Friday and runs thru Sunday and then again May 18 - 20 - make plans to attend and support Zachary talent!

The Music Man is an American musical classic, following fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill and his visit to River City, Iowa, where he meets and falls in love with the willful, spinster librarian, Marian Paroo.

With his word-a-second style, "Professor" Harold Hill convinces the town to adopt his revolutionary music program, "The Think System," or face the moral decline of the youngsters of River City.

Chaos ensues as Hill's credentials are questioned and he is forced to prove himself to the citizens of River City. Featuring songs such as, “Seventy-Six Trumbones,” “Goodnight, My Someone,” and “Shapoopi.” It’s the perfect show for the entire family.

The Music Man Jr. credits list music, book and lyrics by Meredith Wilson and is based on a story by Meredith Wilson and Franklin Lacey.

The musical is directed by Jack Lampert, with Chris Pyfrom as musical director and Emily Coley as choreographer.
