Presented as a concert reading with more than 40 dynamic performers backed by a 25-piece orchestra, this is a rare opportunity to hear Meredith Willson’s charming, six-time Tony Award-winning musical with the power and grandeur it deserves.
The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a band that he vows to organize – despite the fact that he does not know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip towns with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
Please beware of purchasing tickets on third party websites not approved by Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, in addition to scams and resellers. It is important to note that Hugh Jackman is not scheduled to perform and is not associated with the Metropolis production of A Music Man in Concert.
