OHIO – Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute opens its 2018 summer season of
hits with the acclaimed musical The Music Man, book , music and lyrics by
Meredith Willson, presented at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights,
Ohio, from June 29 to July 8, 2018. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic
and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith
Willson'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 that he vows to organize – this, despite the
fact that 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*

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays, June 29 & July 6 and June 30 & July
7 at 7:30 pm; and Sundays July 1 and July 8 at 2:00 PM. The show is
presented at the Hathaway Brown School, 19600 North Park Blvd., Shaker
Heights, Ohio 44122. Tickets are $11-15 and can be purchased online at
