Note from CMTsj (5/18/20): “The summer production of Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man has been postponed. We hope to bring this title to the stage in Summer 2021 with CMT Rising Stars.”
There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian.
By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957, and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
The Music Man follows traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen after all.
This CMT Rising Stars production features a cast of talented performers, ages 10-14.
