Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, <b><i>The Music Man</i></b> is
an affectionate salute to Small-town, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith
Wilson’s <b><i>The Music Man</i></b> 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. This classic musical is
filled with memorable music - "Trouble," "Good Night My
Someone" and "76 Trombones" and big, flashy dance numbers along
with a story that will touch your heart. Go to this webpage for links to entire
