An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, a href="http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000053#"Meredith Willson/a?s strongTHE MUSIC MAN/strong
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 he vows to organize ? this despite the fact 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. brbrPerfect for professional
theatres, community groups, summer stock and schools alike, 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. The cast features a soaring soprano ingénue, parts
for young performers and children, and one of the musical theatre?s
treasures, a tour de force leading role for a charismatic actor who
doesn?t need to be a trained singer. brbrBy turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, strongTHE MUSIC MAN/strong is family entertainment at its best.
