The Music Man
by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Feb. 3-5 & 9-11, 1995
Directed and Choreographed by B. Michael Quale
This story is an all-American valentine to a vanished era. It is the story of a fast talking Harold Hill. He cons the citizens of River City into buying musical instruments and band uniforms and poses as the band leader. Marian, the librarian, is suspicious of Harold Hill, but starts to fall for Harold when Harold helps her brother. Harold finds himself falling for Marian, making it more difficult for him to make a fast get away.
