Our show is directed by Michael Boston and produced by Ann Watts, with choreography by Dottie Lester White and vocal direction by Diana Torres Koss. THE MUSIC MAN follows the exploits of "Professor" Harold Hill, a con man, who in order to sell band instruments convinces the citizens of River City, Iowa that he can teach their children to play in a magnificent marching band. Hill doesn't count on falling in love with the town librarian, and instead of skipping town before the instruments arrive, he is convinced to stay.
