Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN at Milford's Second Street Players at the Riverfront Theater

“The Music Man,” with music, book, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, 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.
