"great tunes ... soaring vocals ... The Music Man still works!"

~ Kay Kipling, Sarasota Magazine

MusicMan-web-smallThere’s trouble in River City when fast-talking traveling salesman Professor Harold Hill bursts into this small, quirky Iowa town.

Winner of five Tony Awards in 1957, this perennial favorite has stood the test of time.

You'll be humming along to "76 Trombones", "Trouble", "Marian the Librarian", "Gary, Indiana", "Shipoopi", "Lida Rose", "Till There Was You" ... and more!
