The Music Man – by Meredith Willson

Chanhassen Dinner Theatre

Group Leader: Kristy Faber, Triton Community Ed

The citizens of River City have got trouble…… That’s a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for “Professor” Harold Hill. He’s a charming, fast talking traveling salesman who goes city to city starting youth marching bands. Hill promises to teach kids and raises money to purchase the instruments and uniforms. There’s just one person who can’t tell the difference between a trombone and a treble clef—Professor Hill. Everyone is simply enamored by Professor Hill, except the suspicious town librarian, Marian Paroo.

On a campaign to rid River City of the impending demise of t heir youth, Professor Hill condemns a variety of activities---- including Maypr Shinn’s new pool table parlor. Shinn, incensed, begins an investigation into Professor Hill’s true credentials. Marian sees through Professor Hill’s marching band scheme. She’s ready to tell Professor Hill off until she sees her self-conscious little brother, Winthrop, she his shyness when he picks up a shiny, new cornet. The trouble really begins when Marian’s heart beats a little faster for Professor Hill.Get into a little trouble with Meredith Willson’s five-time Tony Award-winning musical and enjoy a beautiful lunch that is included in the ticket price.
