The Music Man is Meredith Wilson’s musical tale of a smooth-talking, charming con man, who -- posing as a boy’s band salesman and organizer -- sells instruments and instruction booklets to the residents of River City, Iowa, circa 1912. Using a smoke screen of excitement and anticipation, he transforms the citizens of River City and its beautiful but wary librarian and piano teacher. The 1957 musical is a tribute to the people who shaped the American Midwest in the early years of the 20th century. The Music Man is a cornucopia of some of Broadway’s most famous songs, including "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Till There Was You," and "The Wells Fargo Wagon."
