An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson's "The Music Man" follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a kids' 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.

When Music Man won the Tony award for best musical, which show came in second?

In 1957, The Music Man was awarded the Tony for best musical, beating out the other classic show from that year, West Side Story. How can that be? Well, 76 Trombones, the hometown kids of River City, and the warm feeling of everything turning out good in the world make this
show a timeless classic. The energy, the humanity and the joy just proved to be irresistible.

Your Kid Will Want Piano Lessons

Harold Hill unwittingly transforms the lives of the young people of River City. He teaches them the "Think System," which, while it may not be a recognized musical instruction method, it teaches something far more important. It teaches kids to have confidence and believe in themselves. When we see that, we will be inspired to start making our own music!

Head Straight for Trouble, with a Capital T!

The Music Man is a fantastic family entertainment with a life-changing educational message: believe in yourself and make music! The neighbors may complain about the racket, but you and your kids will be having the time of your lives. Get your tickets now and choose the best
