Servant Stage presents; The Music Man! This Broadway classic is an all-American institution with quirky characters and a one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score. The Music Man follows traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City into organizing a boys’ band, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. Harold doesn’t count on falling in love with the town librarian however, and what ensues is a fast-paced romantic comedy the whole family will love!
