“The Music Man” Comes Onstage At Toby’s Dinner Theatre

Now through May 18, Toby’s Dinner Theatre in Columbia is presenting “The Music Man,” a rousing production once hailed as “the great all-American musical.” The show follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he promises to invigorate a small Iowa town by selling the idea of a boys’ band. Marian, the town librarian, is skeptical until she too falls for his charm. This six-time Tony Award winning musical features the tunes “76 Trombones,” “The Wells Fargo Wagon,” “Trouble,” “Goodnight, My Someone” and “Till There Was You.” As the New York Times said, “‘The Music Man’ is “musical comedy at its feel-good best.”
