Book, Music, and Lyrics by
Meredith Willson
Based on a Story by
Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Based on Meredith Willson’s six-time-Tony-Award-winning musical comedy, The Music Man KIDS features some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance. The Music Man KIDS is family entertainment at its best — a bold, brassy show that will have the whole town atwitter!
Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure? The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

Anna Sieben is thrilled to be returning to Hillbarn as music director this summer! You may recognize Anna from seeing her in several San Mateo High School shows, performing at the Rita Moreno Awards in 2023, or maybe just signing your child out at pick up! Anna is now a student at New York University where she is earning her B.F.A. in Musical Theatre at the New Studio on Broadway. Her passion for teaching continues to grow, having recently declared a minor in Educational Theatre at NYU after many years of teaching music and dance to young artists all around the Bay Area! Thank you to Hillbarn for fostering such a beautiful artistic environment.
McKenna is going into her third year as a BFA Acting Training student at the University of Hartford and is so excited to be a part of this project. She loves to perform but also work behind the scenes creatively, such as directing, writing or, in this case, stage managing! She thanks her friends and family for everything.
Jupiter MacAvoy is excited to be working with Hillbarn Theatre for the first time on Music Man. A recent graduate of San Mateo High School, Jupiter was actively involved in the theater department, stage managing and working on the technical crew for numerous productions, including Sweeney Todd and Rita Moreno-award nominated Hadestown: Teen Edition. They are an incoming freshman at Harvard University and are grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Hillbarn community.
