Meredith Willson's beloved Broadway classic comes to the Gaillard Center for a Wednesday evening performance. The Music Man follows the charming con man Harold Hill as he blows into a small Iowa town, promising to organize a boys' band — and falling for the local librarian along the way. With iconic songs like "76 Trombones" and "Till There Was You," it's one of the most enduring musicals in the American canon.
The Gaillard Center, Charleston's premier performing arts venue on Calhoun Street, makes for a fitting stage for a production of this scale. Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or coming to it fresh, this is a solid night of classic American musical theater in a first-rate setting.
