WHEELING - There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian.
Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy "The Music Man" follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize -- this, despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
Broadway returns to the Capitol Theatre with "The Music Man" on Wednesday, Oct. 7, as the first of four different theatric productions in the 2026-27 season. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. For tickets and information, visit www.capitoltheatrewheeling.com.
Featuring songs such as "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Trouble," "Til There Was You," "Pickalittle" and "Gary, Indiana," "The Music Man" is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
