Lucky Stiff revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently-murdered Atlantic City uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing Uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn, or else to the gun-toting wife of the casino owner!

Ya Got Trouble my friends. Right here at MTC, I say trouble right here at MTC. We have “The Music Man”, that’s right “The Music Man”, coming to the MET stage.

Performances will be Friday, February 3rd at 7 pm, and Saturday, February 4th at 1:30 pm and 7 pm. Tickets are now availbe at the Online Box Office.

The Music Man is the story of Professor Harold Hill and his impact on the sleepy town of River City, Iowa. Hill arrives in that small community on July 4, 1912, with every intention of swindling the town's citizens. Even with nothing but the lowest of intentions, he inadvertently brings joy into their lives and into his own life, as well. He convinces the town's residents he can teach their children to play in a marching band if they buy the instruments and uniforms he has for sale. Then he simply collects the money and skips town without fulfilling his promises. His plans, however, go wonderfully awry when he falls in love with the town librarian, Marian Paroo.

The show's score has its roots in the music of the soft-shoe, of ragtime, of barbershop quartets and the march. It is an original, fresh and warmhearted musical about basic American Values. It features the musical numbers “Ya Got Trouble”, “76 Trombones”, and “Till There Was You.”
