A classic American musical by Meredith Willson, which premiered on Broadway in 1957. Set in 1912 in the fictional town of River City, Iowa, the story follows Harold Hill, a charming con man who poses as a boys’ band organizer. He convinces the townspeople to buy instruments and uniforms, promising to train the band —but he has no musical knowledge and plans to skip town with the money. His plans change when he falls for Marian Paroo, the town’s skeptical librarian and piano teacher, leading to his transformation from a fraud to a genuine community member.
