Meredith Willson’s The Music Man
There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian. Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, in…
Harold Hill rolls into River City with a scheme, a smile, and absolutely zero musical knowledge, and somehow that’s the setup for one of Broadway’s most beloved shows. This touring production of Meredith Willson’s Tony Award-winning classic brings back Elliott Andrews and Elizabeth D’Aiuto as Harold and Marian, directed by Matt Lenz with choreography by Emmy winner Joshua Bergasse. The costumes, scenic design, and lighting all carry serious Broadway pedigree. It’s the kind of show where you’ll catch your parents mouthing “Seventy-Six Trombones” under their breath and pretending they weren’t. The curtain goes up October 17 at 2:00 p.m. at Mayo Performing Arts Center on South Street.
