Program: The Music Man by Meredith Willson.
Meredith Willson's The Music Man stands as one of America's most beloved musicals, a Tony Award-winning masterpiece that premiered on Broadway in 1957. This quintessentially American story follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he arrives in River City, Iowa, promising to organize a boys' marching band while planning to skip town with the money. What begins as a con game transforms into something deeper when Hill meets Marian the librarian and discovers the true meaning of community. The show's infectious optimism and memorable songs like "76 Trombones," "Till There Was You," and "The Wells Fargo Wagon" have made it a cornerstone of American musical theater.
