PRODUCTION
UPDATE
"The Music Man" tells the story of a con man named Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band leader and plans to skip town with the money he collects from unsuspecting families. However, he didn't expect to fall in love with the town's librarian, Marian, and end up having to confront his true feelings and past. The show is filled with memorable songs and lively dance numbers, making it an absolute joy to watch.
