“The Music Man” at Georgetown’s Palace Theatre

The Palace Theatre’s 2013-14 season is off to a rousing start with “The Music Man,” directed by artistic director Mary Ellen Butler.   It’s a big cast with plenty of music and dance.   David Sray takes on the leading role of Professor Harold Hill, with Evelyn LaLonde playing Marian Paroo.    All are good in their roles, but it’s really fun to watch teens Brice Rafferty and Sam Menke perform their light-footed magic on the Springer Memorial Stage.   These young men almost seem to sprout wings  when they perform.   Another youngster to put on your radar is Diego Rodriguez, playing Winthrop Paroo.   He’s the little guy playing the horn in this post and is the son of Palace regular Art Rodriguez, also in this show.      This is a good, family-friendly offering and will be available for audiences every weekend through October 27.  These are a few photos taken for the Williamson County Sun.
