Music Man
BATS latest production of The Music Man is now underway at the Haymarket Theatre in Basingstoke and running through to Saturday 22nd.
Both of my girls, Emily and Alice, are in the show performing together on alternating nights. I'm looking forward to seeing it on Friday as I've heard that this is another excellent performance by BATS.
The show features the signature song ‘Seventy-Six Trombones’. The story sees 'Professor' Harold Hill, a con man, whose scam is to convince parents he can teach their musically disinclined children to play instruments. He takes pre-orders for musical instruments and promises to form a band, when he promptly skips town and moves onto the next before he is found out. Harold arrives at River City, Iowa, where he meets their townspeople and therein the fun starts.
