Grosse Pointe Theatre Show Provides Sneak Peak at Royal Oak's Arts, Beats and Eats
Cast members from The Music Man perform three numbers for the festival crowd on Labor Day.
The Music Man seems to be everywhere these days.
On Labor Day he–that is, Harold Hill, aka Grosse Pointe Farms resident Tim Reinman--and about 30 other cast members from the season-opening play entertained the crowds at Royal Oak's Arts, Beats & Eats with three numbers from the high-energy musical.
Reinman opened the act with a spirited rendition of the show’s trademark song, Trouble. The soothing sounds of the barbershop quartet singing Lida Rose followed, as they were accompanied by the beautiful tones of Marian “The Librarian” Paroo, Rochester Hills’ Jennifer Jones. The group closed the sneak peak with the hilarious song Shipoopi and the teen dancers twirling about.
