By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is
family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson's six-time, Tony Award
winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a
family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he
cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms
for a boys' band he vows to organize this despite the fact he doesn't know
a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are
foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a
respectable citizen by curtain's fall.
