Burke Moses of Broadway's Beauty and the Beast and Tony Award-nominee Kate Baldwin (Finian's Rainbow) star in the heartwarming family favorite The Music Man at Arena Stage. The lovable swindler "Professor" Harold Hill, attempts to pull a con on the citizens of River City, Iowa. Having exhausted all 102 counties in Illinois, fast-talking Hill hits Iowa with a new scheme for making money. He'll save the town's youth from the sin and corruption of the pool hall by selling them instruments and helping to organize a boys' band -- despite the fact that he secretly knows nothing about music. The "Music Man" manages to turn the bickering school board into a barbershop quartet, win the heart of Marian the Librarian, and somehow turn himself into an honest man in the process. The delightful story is set to cheery music, including the songs "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble," "Till There Was You" and "Goodnight, My Someone."

The Music Man was FABULOUS. The Fichandler Stage is marvelous as it is in a square (or round) so that ALL seats are great. I am so glad to have seen your notice about the event.

About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage

Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.

The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.
