There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian. Meredith Willson’s six-time Tony Award®-winning musical comedy 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.  Featuring songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Trouble,” “‘Till There Was You,” “Pickalittle” and “Gary, Indiana,” THE MUSIC MAN is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
