One of the most cherished American classics, THE MUSIC MAN, marches onto the Theatre By The Sea stage. Join us for the timeless story of the fast-talking salesman, Harold Hill, who cons the good folks of River City, Iowa, into believing that he can teach their children to play in a marching band. Before the fraudulent teacher can skip town with the loot, Harold’s got trouble when he falls for the quick-witted, not to mention beautiful, small town librarian, Marian. A slice of Americana you won’t want to miss!

SONGS INCLUDE: TROUBLE • MY WHITE KNIGHT • SEVENTY-SIX TROMBONES • GOODNIGHT, MY SOMEONE • MARIAN THE LIBRARIAN • TILL THERE WAS YOU •SHIPOOPI • GOODNIGHT, LADIES
