Civic Auditorium

MUSICAL
Polish up all seventy-six trombones and strike up the band as we open our season with one of the most beloved celebrations of Americana to ever grace the stage. That’s right, we’ve got trouble right here in River City as con-artist-turned-conductor “Professor” Harold Hill convinces the citizens of River City, Iowa that he can teach their children to play in a marching band. Only after Marian the Librarian discovers his secret does the plot thicken. With a score that includes Gary, Indiana, Til There Was You and Seventy Six Trombones, The Music Man is sure to sing and dance its way into your heart. It’s a humdinger of a musical for the whole family.
