A timeless classic, ‘The Music Man’ promises to deliver top-notch family entertainment. The musical comedy, written by Meredith Willson, has garnered six Tony Awards since its inception in 1957. Its enduring appeal continues to captivate audiences of all ages, making it a delightful story to be cherished and enjoyed by every generation.
The narrative revolves around the charismatic Harold Hill, a fast-talking traveling salesman. Hill cunningly swindles the unsuspecting residents of River City, Iowa, by persuading them to purchase musical instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he claims he will assemble. The only problem is that Hill lacks any musical knowledge and is unable to differentiate a trombone from a treble clef. However, his devious plans to abscond with the money are thwarted when he unexpectedly falls in love with Marian, the town librarian. By the final curtain, Hill undergoes a remarkable transformation, guided by Marian, ultimately becoming an upstanding member of society.
Admission to ‘The Music Man’ is priced at $15 per ticket. To secure reservations, interested individuals can call 419-617-1201. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door.
