Mary Tropp – Alto Saxophonist

Mary Tropp was a member of the pit orchestra, playing both the alto saxophone and clarinet parts of the musical. “I had a really good time with this play,” Mary expresses, “it was really cool to get to perform one of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s shows. Weber is a notable composer and impresario of musical theater, with many of his musicals lasting for over a decade on Broadway. Mary found “Potiphar” to be the most challenging song— “but also the most fun, tied with the Overture and the Megamix.” The musician found all of the songs exciting, however, exclaiming that “even when [the pit wasn’t] playing [they] would sing and dance along.” Mary was also the Everyday Hero for the month of March. She was recognized for her infectious enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and humility—all of which make her a “star pupil,” according to the Everyday Hero Committee.
