Music Man, Jr Amphitheater July 18, 2008

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.
