Con man Harold Hill doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef when he comes to River City, Iowa, to sell musical instruments and uniforms for a boys' band. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for the local librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. Featuring favorites songs such as (Ya Got) Trouble, Seventy-six Trombones, Marian, The Librarian, and Shipoopi. The Music Man was a part of our 2004-2005 Season at the Palace and we are happy to bring it back to our stage.

Book, Music, and Lyrics
byMEREDITH WILLSON
Based on a story by
MEREDITH WILLSON & FRANKLIN LACEY



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 does'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.

This beloved, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, thanks to is quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads, including:

* Seventy-Six Trombones
* Ya Got Trouble
* Goodnight My Someone
* Till There Was You
* Goodnight Ladies
* and many, many more!
