Summary
An affectionate paean to Smalltown, USA of a bygone era, THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, IA into buying instruments and uniforms for a boysâ band he vows to organize â this despite the fact he doesnât 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 curtainâs 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. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, THE MUSIC MAN is family entertainment at its best; produced "in the round" and choreographed by Kate Swan.
