The Music Man

  
There's trouble in River City when traveling con man Harold Hill drums up support for a boys' band, selling instruments and uniforms before skipping town with the cash. Local librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo isn't convinced – until she sees Hill's impact on her young brother. In 1957, the show became a hit on Broadway, winning five Tony Awards, and running for 1,375 performances.
 
Local children and community members join the talented Bluffton University cast for this beloved American musical.
