BAINBRIDGE – Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” which comes to the Town Hall Theatre March 19, 20, 21, brings with it a bit of nostalgia, literally to “beat the band.”

Centered around the story of Professor Harold Hill and his efforts to hoodwink a sleepy 1912 Iowa town on the pretense of putting together a boys band, “The Music Man” brings music not only to their ears, but puts it in their hearts as well.

Ken Wilber plays traveling salesman Hill, the music “Professor” who tries to outsmart piano teacher Marian, Amanda Perrino, while collecting her brother, Winthrop, Connor Kiss, for the boys band he is forming.
