What is the story of The Music Man on Broadway?

Ticket information

The Music Man is a classic musical about a con man named Harold Hill who comes to Iowa with the promise of starting a boys’ marching band. His classic scam is to take payments for uniforms and instruments but not actually provide anything in return. At the same time, he meets Marian Paroo, who is the town librarian and the only musician in town. While he tries to woo her over, he also takes this opportunity to convince the town-folk that they need a band and obtains a bunch of sign-ups.

As Marian is very suspicious of Harold, she sets out to present information to the mayor that would discredit what he was working on. However, when she notices that her brother, Winthrop, forgets to be self-conscious and shy because of his new cornet, she starts to see Harold differently and tears up the evidence.

As the townsfolk eventually realize that Harold is a fraud and go to confront him, he has to decide whether or not to run away with the money he’s scammed from them. This production is set to be a fantastic show-stopping experience that you won’t want to miss.
