Book, Music & Lyrics by Meredith Willson
Based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Synopsis
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 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,
who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. |
