The Music Man at Richter Park

By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is family
entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning
musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957
and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.

The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill,
as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments
and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize
– this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone
from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with
the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian,
who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
