River City, Iowa. 1912. Enter Harold Hill: charming, charismatic, and out to swindle the citizens of this small town with his promise of a boys’ band. But when Hill finds himself falling for spirited and skeptical Marian Paroo, all bets are off the table. Suddenly, the smooth-talking con man will have to decide if deceiving the people of River City will be worth betting his heart.

With unforgettable songs like 76 Trombones and Till There Was You, this beloved classic celebrates love, community, and the power of music. Infused with colorful characters and set against a rich backdrop of turn-of-the-century Americana, THE MUSIC MAN promises to be the perfect night out at the theater. Don’t miss your chance to fall under the timeless spell of this beloved classic!
