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,? ??Til There Was You,? ?Pickalittle? and ?Gary, Indiana,? The Music Man is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
