18 + WATERLOO CHRONICLE + Wednesday, November 2 Bluevale is putting on its first musical production in years on‘t be surprised if you see Dgirls in long flowing dresses and men in dapper suits roaming the halls of Bluevale colleâ€" giate institute. They‘re students dressed as townspeople from a small lowa community in 1912, the setting of the school‘s upcoming musical production, The Music Man. ‘The Music Man‘ "This is just probably one of the most talented casts we‘ve ever had," said music director Nancy "The kids have just bought into (their roles) hook, line and sinker. They‘ve become a community and 1 think people will feel that the minute they see them on stage." The Music Man revolves around the character of Harold Hill, played by 18â€"yearâ€"old student Nathan Leung, a salesman/con man who travels from townâ€"toâ€"town selling band instruments and music lesâ€" sons, the latter of which he doesn‘t deliver. That‘s until he gets to River City, lowa, where he falls in love with librarian and piano teacher Marian "This is just probably one of the most talented casts we‘ve ever had." LUTHERq VILLAGE !

"So throughout the first act I‘m selling instruments, perpetuatâ€" ing the con and chasing after her, trying to throw her off balance because she can see through me, she knows that I‘m a fake." In Act 2, the townspeople become wise to Hill‘s con, but that doesn‘t stop a relationship from blossoming between the two cenâ€" tral characters. The story includes many other characters as well, which makes it ideal for a group of students, said the show‘s director Laurel Brown. "Part of the story is to recognize that when you have a community of different people, they can come together and create a lot of harmoâ€" ny once you communicate with one another," she said. "I think that‘s what we‘re trying to do here at Bluevale and all the schools across the county ... we‘re trying to allow people to have a dream." Bluevale used to put on a musiâ€" cal production every two to three years, but they‘ve been too busy with other extraâ€"curricular groups to hold one in the last six years, said teacher Cameron McBain, who is also producing this show. That changed this year, howevâ€" er, because two of the music department‘s longtime teachers, Kidd and John McLelland, are retiring. "It‘s a great way for them to go," McBain said.
