Book, Music and Lyrics by Meredith Willson | Based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Meredith Willson’s affectionate musical tribute to small-town life of a bygone era follows the exploits of a fast-talking salesman and con artist who arrives in River City, Iowa, in 1912. Planning to set up a boy’s band and abscond with the money raised for musical instruments, he is undone by a local librarian and music teacher. Marian pegs Harold Hill as a fraud until he enthusiastically comes through for the boys and the town, winning her affections. Wickedly funny and romantic with quirky characters and a nostalgic yet rousing musical score, The Music Man is a must-see tour de force!
