Meredith Willson's The Music Man
About this event
The classic Broadway musical featuring Professor Harold Hill.
What to Expect
- 1.Expect classic Broadway energy: big ensemble numbers, sharp dancing, and a live orchestra driving the score, with crowd-pleasers like 76 Trombones and Till There Was You. The show moves the story along with spoken dialogue, so listen for both.
- 2.Show up early to soak in the Fox Theatre's grand, historic vibe and to navigate the multi-level seating. The lobby can be busy before curtain and sightlines vary by section.
- 3.Intermission gives you a breather—stretch, grab a drink, and check out the program. The lobby bar and concessions usually have decent options.
- 4.Dress comfortably but expect a theater crowd that appreciates a polished, traditional production—applause after big numbers is common.
- 5.If you're new to musicals, focus on the orchestration and vocal harmonies. Following the main characters' journey helps you stay engaged through the songs.
