What is Music Man Jr?  This is a musical (singing and speaking) based on the Broadway show.  Set in the 1910’s, this show open with Harold Hill on a train coming to River City.  Harold Hill is a fast talking salesman who is not totally honest about what he sells (in the case instruments and teaching music).  After sweet talking his way into River City, he convinces the town that they have trouble and the solution is to have all their children placed into a marching band.  He would order the instruments, uniforms and teach their kids to play (even though he has no musical knowledge).  The town librarian, Marian Paroo, is not convinced and tries to show everyone who Harold Hill really is.  Over time, Harold starts to realize he really needs to prove himself.  This is a classic show with tons of parts and lots of fast-moving action.
