The Music Man It’s going to be a busy week for traveling salesman Harold Hill. He has to convince the residents of River City he’s a well-accomplished musician; convince the Mayor of River City to put him in charge of starting a children’s band; convince the parents of River City to buy their young musicians uniforms and instruments from him. Then he has to get out of town with everyone’s money before there’s trouble in River City, but even the best laid plans encounter a few hurdles. In this case it’s the warmth of a woman, the needs of a painfully shy boy, and a community that wants to believe in him. Before Harold knows it, he’s leading the big parade and changing everyone’s lives. Price includes tickets and transportation.
