Music Man

Meredith Willson's Music Man was a 1957 hit Broadway musical. The story follows a fast-talking con man, Harold Hill, who goes from town to town selling citizens on starting a "boy's band," then extracts money from them by ordering instruments and uniforms, with the promise that he'll teach the kids how to be musicians. Once he's collected his bankroll, Hill skips town, leaving the kids in the lurch. Looking for new suckers in Iowa, Hill arrives in River City, where he declares that the only way to save the youth of River City from the lure of the poolroom is to organize a boy's band. However, it is in this little Iowa town that Hill falls in love the librarian. Once her resolve is broken, and she ends up falling in love with Hill, Harold gives himself up completely to making a success of the boys' band.
