The Music Man

Why see The Music Man?

A Family-Friendly Classic!

One of the most beloved musicals in American theater repertoire, The Music Man will be marching into a stage near you soon. This six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy by Meredith Wilson has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a perfect show to see with the whole family. The Music Man features classic show tunes such as 'Seventy-Six Trombones' and many others.

What is the story?

When a fancy-footed musical instrument salesman greases his way into a small town, he is determined to fleece the naive community by pretending to teach the local children to play in a marching band! But as the conman is about to pocket the cash and make a speedy getaway, he falls for the beautiful and sharp-witted local librarian and undergoes a change of heart. Will he be able to deliver his promise, or will his true motives be revealed to the trusting townies?
