Mark Hamman As one of the best musicals ever given at GHS, Music Man will rate high on the list of times to remember. The leads, Polly Gamble and Roger Nelson seem to actually live their parts. The many backstage experiences will never be forgotten by any of the crew. One in particular happened to Janet Robinson when she had to make up Indian numbers from six to seventeen, because of a faulty iirecracker. The many realistic sets were thought, by some members of the audience, to be professionally made. At both perform- ances the cast was honored with a stand- ing ovation, a great tribute for a fine performance. The lilting songs and gay costumes set the stage for two hours of rollicking good fun. Words seem trite in an explanation of this fantastic production, but Music Man was simply great!
