River City, IA Meets Santa Rosa, CA!
Ohhh, ya got trouble! Meredith Wilson’s 1957 hit The Music Man is coming to 6th Street Studio in this shortened adaptation, featuring iconic songs like “Goodnight, My Someone,” “76 Trombones,” and “Shipoopi.”
When professional trickster and travelling “salesman” Harold Hill arrives in River City, Iowa, he vows to unite the town’s youngsters into a marching band, taking payments from the locals for uniforms and musical instruments. The problem? Hill does not know a lick of music and runs the risk of being outed by the town’s librarian and part-time piano teacher, Marian. The plot further thickens when the con man falls for Marian, who continues to believe in him despite his scheming. Will Hill follow through with his plans…or will his heart persuade him to do the right thing?
