ABOUT THE MUSIC MAN

Fast-talking Harold Hill convinces the parents of a small town in Iowa to buy instruments and uniforms for their youngsters, but chaos ensues as Hill's credentials are questioned and he is called upon to prove himself to the citizens of River City. The Music Man marks the third annual production created by the Garden Theatre, in which professional and non-professional performers are blended into a cohesive cast, costumed with colorful clothes and showcased on a custom-crafted set that utilizes state-of-the-art lighting, sound and special effects. The Music Man is a celebration for everyone, whether they’re on stage or in the audience!
