BWW Review: THE MUSIC MAN at The Des Moines Playhouse

This production of The Music Man will lift your spirits and remind you of a great staple of American musical theatre, even if it does need some modern rewrites.

Des Moines Playhouse presents THE MUSIC MAN, 7/14-8/6

There's trouble in River City! Fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill (Brad D. Church) cons Iowa-stubborn citizens by convincing them to purchase instruments and uniforms for a boys' band. But his plans to skip town with the money are thwarted when he meets Marian (Katy Merriman), the librarian, and falls in love… first with her, and then with the town. 'The Music Man' is Meredith Willson's tribute to his home state, and one of the Playhouse's most-requested musicals.
