Nostalgia reigns in Guild's 'Music Man'
>>> In an era when theater companies are demolished to make later, edgiest, envelope-pushing productions, it is nice to see Quad-City Music Guild have success with a musical 54 years ago put 99.
"The Music Man" is a nice fit for the guild and its audience - when the first number is called "Rock Island", and there is a reference to Moline? I mean, come on, it's a natural!
Director Harold Truitt and well placed cast show an affinity for River City, Iowa, in 1912. The scenography of the table gives the sensation of town, while Peggy Freeman costumes take up a large color palette.
Playing the lead roles, traveling salesman-slash-con artist Harold Hill and Marian the librarian Paroo are real-life husband and wife Christopher Thomas and Erika Thomas. They enjoy a nice familiarity in the end, but still display enough standoffishness as he pursues her through much of the first act.
Supporting players deserving kudos include Scott Tunnicliff, who channels W.C. Fields while playing the town mayor; Susan Graner, upping the Irish as Marian's mother; Matthew Wright, as Hill's reunited wingman; and Andy Gibb Clark, as the town no-good turned band captain.
Children Artists - Spencer Clark as the brother of Marian and Winthrop Rebecca Schaechter as young piano student who swoons for him - Project and articulate each word given to them.
Choreographer Kathy Lafrenz work is particularly effective in the group numbers and musical director Joe Miller leads a powerful tank.
"The Music Man" Meredith Willson writer gives several mouths full of words, and the soloists generally, it has grace, without losing the words.
The classic sounds, history and nostalgia are "The Music Man" feel as refreshing as a pitcher of lemonade.
