This amateur production was by arrangement with Warner/Chapell Music Limited.

Meredith Willson's The Music Man was first performed on Broadway in 1957. The production is about Professor Harold Hill, a con artist who has more schemes than a hound dog has fleas. He hoodwinks the credulous townsfolk of River City, Iowa into organising a boys band so he can sell them nonexistent band instruments, then tries to skip town before his chicanery is unmasked by the suspicious - and lovely - town librarian. All this as well as a vibrant score including Ya Got Trouble, Till There Was You, Marian The Librarian, and Seventy-Six Trombones.
