JULY 26 thru SUN JULY 31
Music Man @ The Fox Theatre
Ticket prices: $20 - $59
Winner of six Tony Awards, THE MUSIC MAN is a romantic musical that's
wonderful entertainment for the entire family. Professor Harold
Hill is a glib-tongued, fleet-footed, woman-chasing con artist/traveling
salesman whose adventures take him to the dull town of River City,
Iowa. Hill convinces the townsfolk that their children are in trouble
and forms a band to teach them discipline.
He plans on skipping town with the money he collects for the children's
uniforms and instruments. There's just one little problem:the charming
Professor is falling in love with Marian the Librarian, the spinster
sister of one of the kids in his band.
