NIACC Performing Arts & Leadership Series: Meredith Willson’s The Music Man

In Memory of Patricia Johnston by Dr. Tom Johnston
“76 Trombones Led the Big Parade! …And they’re marching still, right today!”

Meredith Willson’s The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences across the nation 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, even though 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.

Following the popular Broadway revival, The Music Man is coming home to Mason City, Iowa!
