Eleven Bellevue residents will appear in upcoming Bellevue Community College presentations of “The Music Man,” which take place March 5-7 at the school’s Carlson Theatre.
“The Music Man” is the story of a fast-talking con man who falls in love with a local librarian as he attempts to swindle the citizens of River City, Iowa.
BCC student Cara Iwasaki plays Zaneeta, the mayor’s eccentric daughter. She also sings in the chorus along with fellow BCC students Corrine Jaeger and Fiona Moran, as well as Tyee Middle School student Emily Stochel.
Eastgate Elementary student Justice Richards plays the lisping young boy, Winthrop. He also sings the song “Gary Indiana” and joins the chorus on several numbers.
Tyee Middle School’s Ellie Evans appears as a young piano student Amaryllis on top of singing a solo in the song “Goodnight My Someone” and joining the chorus.
Local home-school students Darius Steele, Nikita Steele, and Chiara Zanatta-Kline will join Eastgate Elementary’s Gracie Richards as part of the ragtag Kids’ Band.
Shows begin at 7:30 p.m., with an additional matinee at 2:30 p.m. on March 7.
Tickets are $15 general admission and $12 for students, available at www.brownpapertickets.com or by calling 800.838.3006.
