SYNOPSIS Meredith Willson’s "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. This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, thanks to is quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. Memorable tunes include "Goodnight, My Someone", "Lida Rose & Will I Ever Tell You", "Gary, Indiana", "Till there Was You", Seventy-Six Trombones". "Ya Got Trouble", "Shipoopi" and "Marian the Librarian". The cast features a soaring soprano ingénue, parts for young performers and children, and one of the musical theatre’s treasures, a tour de force leading role for a charismatic actor who doesn’t need to be a trained singer.
