"The Music Man"
June 29 - July 7, 2007
“The Music man” brought its big parade to McKinney Summer Musicals’ 2008 production with this this popular family musical by Meredith Willson. Willson delivers a dynamite score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads with popular songs like “Ya Got Trouble”, “Lida Rose” and “Till There Was You”.
“The Music Man” is a comedy that woos and wins its audience with open emotions and nostalgia for an old-fashioned American past. The show tells the story of Professor Harold Hill, who sets out to con the good people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he never plans to organize. But this phony peddler sings a different tune when he falls for Marian, the town librarian and piano teacher. Instead of skipping town before the instruments arrive, Harold's love for Marian convinces him to stay and face the music.
