Meredith Willson’s The Music Man
About The Music Man
The citizens of River City have got trouble… That’s a capital T, that rhymes with P and stands for “Professor” Harold Hill. He’s a charming, fast-talkin’ traveling salesman who goes city to city starting youth marching bands. Hill promises to teach the kids and raises the money to purchase the instruments and uniforms. There’s just one person who can’t tell the difference between a trombone and a treble clef – Professor Hill. Everyone is simply enamored by Professor Hill, everyone except for the suspicious town librarian, Marian Paroo.
On a campaign to rid River City of the impending demise of their youth, Professor Hill condemns a variety of activities – including Mayor Shinn’s new pool table in the town parlor. Shinn, incensed, begins an investigation into Professor Hill’s true credentials. Marian sees right through Professor Hill’s marching band scheme. She’s ready to tell Professor Hill off until she sees her self-conscious little brother, Winthrop, shed his shyness when he picks up a shiny, new cornet. The trouble really begins when Marian’s heart beats a little faster for Professor Hill.
Get into a little trouble with Meredith Willson’s five-time Tony Award-winning musical featuring the unforgettable songs “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Ya Got Trouble,” “Wells Fargo Wagon” and “Till There Was You.” Don’t miss this classic, all-American musical for every generation.

Ross Raihala

“There was music, and wonderful roses, but you never heard it all until you hear Ann Michels sing 'Till There Was You.'”
Basil Considine
Twin Cities Arts Reader
“A fabulous show…wonderful! You’re gonna love it!”
Matt Belanger
KSTP TV
“As theater choices provide both escapism and insight, reflection and progressiveness, classics like this will continue to contend with the test of time. For now, though, if you want a spirit-filled show that makes a change of heart seem easy, CDT’s The Music Man is a sale as good as gold.”
