The Shepherd, played by Sid Marsh and his son, the clownish Eric Owen, lead the hilarity. These two find and name the

Dain Morrison plays the pickpocket Autolycus with the ticklish aplomb of Johnny Depp. Morrison, along with Marsh and Owen, heighten the outlandishness of life in Bohemia, which setsthe stage for the alluring

mystery of the play's conclusion. The climax requires a ro-

mance between Perdita, played by Sara Garcia, and Florizel, played by Forrest Lark. These young actors are smooth and competent in Shakespearean roles.

"The Music Man" opens Friday with the largest cast in Sierra Repertory Theatre's history — 37 in total, including 14 children. Barbershop quartets, Fourth of July celebrations, ice cream socials and marching bands find a home at Columbia State Historic Park's Fallon House Theater when SRT presents "The Music Man" through Aug.16. "There'snostalgia to it,there's charm," said Scott Viets, Sierra Rep's artistic director, who directs the show. "That's why this musical endures. It simply makes you feel good." Described "as American as applepie and a Fourth ofJuly oration" by The New York Times, "The Music Man" is a familyfriendly classic, set in 1912. It' s the charm of that period, Viets said, that helps take audiences back to a simpler and more innocent time and place.

The story revolves around Harold Hill, a charismatic musical-

aeter. It's a lot of fun." That's what Krumins thought

instrument salesman who cons

when he first saw the musical as

the good folks of River City, Iowa, into believing that he can teach their children to play in a marching band. Harold plans to skip town, though, fall apart when he falls in love with Marian, the town's prim librarian and part-time piano teacher. Other characters include a stodgy mayor and his snooty wife, a daQy teenager with a crush on the town's bad boy, a widowed Irish mother who can't help but give her daughter well-meaning advice about finding a man, and

a child, on VHS tape. "There's energy, there's silliness, there are great costumes," he said. "It's Americana. It's a good time." Those great costumes are by Ryan Moiler, who designed costumes for "Cinderella" in the fall of 2012, "Les Miserables" in 2014 and "Honky Tonk Angels" this year. Moiler's vision: Drab clothes — browns, tans and greens — at least until Professor Hill arrives in his bright-colored suit. Gradually, as the town buys into Hill's ideas, the clothes change along with the atmosphere. "This is a show about a town that has been deprived of joy," Moiler said. "Then, Harold arrives and it's as if someone has breathed life back into them. The colorsgetbrighter,things get happier." Happy is one way to describe the music, which includes rousing production numbers like "76 Trombones," "Trouble" and "The Wells Fargo Wagon." There are also well-known ballads: "Good-

many more.

Inspired by his boyhood in Mason City, Iowa, Meredith Willson wrote both the music and lyrics for "The Music Man." His first musical was a surprise smash hit in 1957, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Playing Hill in Sierra Rep's production of "The Music Man" is Ralph Krumins, also the theater's education director. Krumins was Buddy Holly in Sierra Rep's popular "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story" in 2013. He's excited to play the charming con man. "It's one of the most challenging musical parts I can think of," he said. 'You have to be likeable, but he's still kind of a shady char-

Deb Malcom, who designed sets for Sierra Rep's "All My Sons" and "It's a Wonderful Life," designs the sets for "The Music Man." Audiences can expect a town square straightout ofthe early 1900s.

The production will play at the Fallon House Theater in Columbia State Historic Park, an ideal setting, according to Viets. "It just lends itself to the production," he said. "Hopefully the feeling will be that you are stepping back in time."
