Here's how the musical is billed: "Full of heart, wit, and oceans of beautiful music, the story opens on the 4th of July, 1912, in River City, Iowa. Oh, there is trouble my friends, right here in River City, and Professor Harold Hill has the antidote — an all-boys marching band. But Marian the Librarian sees through his schemes, at least until she falls in love with the irrepressible con artist and he becomes the one thing he fears the most: a respectable citizen!" The score includes such classics as "Goodnight, My Someone," "Gary, Indiana," "Till There Was You" and "Seventy-Six Trombones," among others.
