Junior Danielle Wilburn, assistant editor of The Iron Blade and a BRDT performer, described the Tony-award-winning play as “a classic Broadway favorite filled with fast-talking charm, big ensemble numbers, and plenty of small-town mischief. The story follows Professor and con-man Harold Hill through River City, Iowa. With its lively music and colorful cast of characters, the show offers multiple opportunities for performers to jump in, have fun, and shine together on stage.”
