Max was actually Mayor Shinn, so his singing parts this time were group parts. But the boy has real charisma. I love this musical, too, and always had a crush on Robert Preston. Plus, I like librarians (and Shirley Jones) too.
Isn't theater wonderful for kids? Do you remember the WHS production, with Kevin Scannell star athlete as the Music Man, and a girl who'd probably never had a date but had a killer voice...what was her name...Nancy Pederson...as Marion the librarian? I'll never forget that pairing, in a world where the role would normally go to a cheerleader. My fave Robert Preston role ever was in Victor/Victoria. Julie Andrews, as well.
Fenway Fran! I must know you! Who are you? Kevin Scandell! I absolute remember him and I remember Nancy Pederson who wore little white socks and this pink jumper all the time,a nd she became popular after she was Marian.
Stay tuned, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, my 12th novel is coming August 4, 2020 from Algonquin. My 11th novel CRUEL BEAUTIFUL WORLD is an Indie Next Pick. IS THIS TOMORROW was an May Indie Pick.

He looks so much like you. The Music Man is one of my all time favorite musicals. Bravo!
Oh, what is he singing? (I love this musical)
