Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man at Walton Arts Center

Meredith Willson's six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy The Music Man follows traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that 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, will she transform him into a respectable citizen by the final curtain? Featuring songs such as "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble," "'Til There Was You" and "Gary, Indiana," The Music Man is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
