San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“The Music Man”

March 19, 2018 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

The Music Man
Meredith Wilson (Book, Music & Lyrics)
Broadway by the Bay
As many times as I have personally seen the show, I experienced a week’s build-up of excitement to see Broadway by the Bay’s latest staging of the ever-popular tale of the huckster Hill, The Music Man.  I am happy to report that the Broadway by the Bay production has the all brassiness, the barbershop harmonies, and the unabashed mixture of high jinx and sentimental sappiness that audiences from coast to coast have loved for the past sixty-one years.  
For my full review, please proceed to Talkin’ Broadway: https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj118.html.
Rating: 4.5 E
