The Tony-Winning Broadway Musical Classic

Hanna Theatre, Playhouse Square
Run Time: 2 hours & 10 minutes (including intermission)
Book, Music and Lyrics by Meredith Willson
Story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Directed by Victoria Bussert
“There’s trouble in River City…” when Harold Hill, a fast-talking salesman, attempts to con its citizens into purchasing instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he never fully intends on forming.
That is until, Marian, the prim town librarian, catches on to his scheme and the two fall into an unlikely romance that is the foil to all of Harold’s plans. This six-time, Tony-winning musical, which features cherished numbers such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Ya Got Trouble” and “Till There Was You,” is the perfect musical comedy for all ages.
THE MUSIC MAN is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
THE MUSIC MAN is part of the Kulas Musical Theater Series at Great Lakes Theater.
