The Music Man, the 1957 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, tells the story of con man Harold Hill, who falls in love with librarian Marian Paroo in the summer of 1912 as he bamboozles the townsfolk of River City, Iowa, into financing a boys' marching band. As his scheme begins to unravel, Hill must choose between the promise of romance and a quick getaway. The score, which won the first Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Album, includes such memorables as "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble," "Marian, The Librarian," "Goodnight, My Someone" and "Till There Was You."
"The Music Man" in Concert will be a magical evening of family entertainment you won't want to miss!!
