Meredith Willson’s The Music Man is an affectionate tribute to Smalltown, U.S.A., of a bygone era. The story 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 –despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. The production includes timeless classic numbers and heavy chorus participation.
