Meredith Willson's The Music Man

The rollicking musical follows the escapades of the charming, fast-talking rogue, Professor Harold Hill (Broderick), who waltzes into River City, Iowa, mesmerizing its citizens with the need for a boys' marching band to keep their children on the path of moral righteousness. Hill cons the parents into buying his expensive instruments and uniforms, convincing them that his revolutionary music training program, "The Think System," will turn their youngsters into virtuoso performers. But not all the townspeople are excited by Hill's scheme, especially Marian Paroo (Chenoweth), the beautiful but willful local librarian and piano teacher who has caught Prof. Hill's eye. Hill's plans go awry when his deepening feelings for Marian and his attempts to scam the stubborn small town citizens run to cross-purposes. Chaos ensues when Hill is about to be uncovered for the scoundrel he is and he's forced to prove himself to the River City citizens and Marian.
