Review: THE MUSIC MAN at NIACC Performing Arts
by Jared Fessler - Mar 5, 2026
Seeing The Music Man in Mason City just feels right. When the new national tour came through the North Iowa Area Community Auditorium, it felt a little different than seeing a typical touring Broadway show. This is the town where the musical’s creator, Meredith Willson, was born and raised, so the story has a real connection here.
