The Music Man is written and composed by Mason City's Meredith Wilson. Most Iowans are familiar with this story of fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill, who cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. Full of humor and memorable songs like "76 Trombones" and "Ya Got Trouble" and reluctant romance with a happy ending, this show is a "must see" for hometown folks. In 1957, the show became a hit on Broadway, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical (beating out West Side Story), and running for 1,375 performances. The cast album won the first Grammy Award for "Best Original Cast Album". The shows success led to revivals and a popular 1962 film adaptation and a 2003 television remake.
"...a marvelous show, rooted in wholesome and comic tradition." New York Times
"One of the few great musical comedies!" New York Daily News
