Music Man director-choreographer Susan Stroman poses with her Contact collaborator John Weidman at the Music Man opening night party April 27. At right, Music Man star Rebecca Luker with Eartha Kitt, the star of their neighboring show, The Wild Party. The Music Man celebrates small-town Iowa in 1912, a salesman's drive to succeed, a spinster's dreams of a quality man and true romance, and a child's wish to be special with such classic Meredith Wilson tunes as "Trouble," "Seventy-Six Trombones," "My White Knight," "Gary, Indiana" and "Goodnight, My Someone." Craig Bierko stars as conman Harold Hill with Luker as Marian the librarian.
