The Music Man (2013)

Book by Meredith Willson
Music and Lyrics by Meredith Willson
Based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Directed by John Moon

This award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, with its quirky characters, charming situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets, and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. When fast talking Harold Hill comes marching into town, you know there’s going to be trouble right here in River City. His goal is to con the good townspeople out of their money, but Marian the Librarian has other plans. This wonderful slice of Americana will leave your entire family humming such familiar tunes as “Seventy-Six Trombones, “Gary, Indiana,” and “’Till There Was You.” By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best.
