Description The Music Man is the endearing story of a travelling salesman who visits a small Iowa town in 1912 where he meets and falls in love with the willful librarian. With his fast-talking style, “Professor” Harold Hill convinces the town that unless they adopt his revolutionary music program, “The Think System”, the morale of its youngsters will be forever doomed. He cons the parents into buying instruments and expensive uniforms in order to form the River City Boys Band. Chaos ensues as Hill’s credentials are called into question.
