Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg presents: The Music Man!
Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg
The Music Man
The Theatre: Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg, or CPAM, is a non-profit children’s theater dedicated to promote, to all area youth, the appreciation of the performing arts through education, practice and performance. Our goal is to enrich the lives of those participants by strengthening the performing arts community. They feature classes and performances in the historic Baum Opera house in Downtown Miamisburg.
The Show: Later this week, the kids of CPAM are going to take on Meredith Wilson’s classic piece of Americana, The Music Man. This musical tells the tale of Harold Hill, a traveling con artist salesman who inspires the stiff-necked citizenry of fictional River City, Iowa to invest in the future of their town by putting together a Boys Band. Of course, Hill himself will lead it, and all the instruments, music and uniforms are available from him. For a fee. He never expected to meet Marian Paroo, the suspicious librarian-cum-piano teacher. The result is a beloved piece of musical theatre that gives us the songs, “76 Trombones,” “(Ya Got) Trouble,” and “Shapoopi,” among many others. By the end, you’ll wish you could play right along with the band.
Dates: Music Man opens Saturday, March 8th. The times and dates run as follows: 3/8 and 3/15, 2 pm and 7 pm. 3/9 and 3/16, 3 pm and next week, 3/13 and 3/14 at 7 pm.
Tickets: Tickets are available by following the link at CPAM’s page, here, and the prices are $17 for reserved seating, $15 for general admission and $13 for seniors (60+), military members and children ages 3-11.
Location: The Baum Opera House is located at 15 First St in Downtown Miamisburg.

Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg Presents BROADWAY IN THE ‘BURG + TICKET CONTEST
Perhaps Peter Pan can’t fly out the window or Mary Poppins won’t levitate to the roof of the Baum Opera House but Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg (CPAM) will be treating audiences to the excitement from these shows during March by presenting Broadway in the ‘Burg.
Broadway in the ‘Burg will include a special selection of show stoppers from many other beloved Broadway shows all wrapped up in one magical evening.
The talented cast will be telling you to Consider Yourself at Home from Oliver, be transported back in time to magical Camelot and ride a train in Iowa to Rock Island from Music Man. Cinderella dances with the Prince in the romantic Ten Minutes Ago and the whole cast will bring you to your feet with the blockbuster title number from Oklahoma! Other treats on the bill will be special selections from Bye Bye Birdie, Bugsy Malone and Rent.
Since, their inception three years ago, Miamisburg’s own childrens’ theater group has thrilled audiences with full length productions of Godspell, The Wizard of Oz and Seussical. Last September, just a few weeks before it opened on Broadway, CPAM presented one of the area’s largest productions of Annie, The Musical which featured the fun and excitement of 22 orphans on the stage of the Baum Opera House at the same time.
Topping off the evening will be a sentimental and nostalgic look back at past performances with selections from Godspell, The Wizard of Oz, Seussical and Annie, the Musical.
All Miami Valley area students from grades 4 through 12 are welcome to join our group. CPAM’s productions of The Wizard of Oz and Seussical each had 50 area children acting, singing and dancing on the stage.
BROADWAY IN THE ‘BURG will be presented March 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17. Show times are Fridays at 7:00 p.m., Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.cpamburg.com or at the door on the date of the show (subject to availability).
