Creative Greensboro presents Meredith Willson’s Tony award-winning musical “The Music Man,” at 7:30 p.m., June 27 through 29, and at 2 p.m., June 30, at the Virginia Somerville Sutton Theatre at Wellspring, 4100 Wellspring Dr. The June 30 performance will feature an audio description service by Arts Access.
“The Music Man” is wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, It is family entertainment at its best. Willson’s six-time, Tony award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
“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 that 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.
