I survived The Music Man last night. It was a beautiful night to be out, after so many weeks of up and down weather, and the place was packed. As well it should be, anyway.
The production was fine for a fairly simple outdoor venue, and the leads and most of the cast were good. The band were all good players, but boy, you just need more of it. Some numbers sounded okay, but small. I was wrong yesterday, there were two reed players, and the first was on piccolo for much of the show. Lots of piccolo in The Music Man.
