MEREDITH WILLSON'S "THE MUSIC MAN"

Story by: MEREDITH WILLSON and FRANKLIN LACEY
Originally Produced on Broadway by Richard Barr, Charles Woodward, Robert Fryer, Mary Lea Johnson, Martin Richards in Association with Dean and Judy Manos
Meredith Willson’s beloved, American musical will charm the Weathervane stage once again! The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. This Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
Fast-talking salesman, Harold Hill, will spell out “trouble” in his best sales pitch as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. However, he finds himself falling head over heels for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable man by the end!
From barbershop quartets, wonderful dance numbers, and gorgeous melodies, this show has everything you could want in a musical. Don’t miss this delightful classic at the Playhouse this summer!
