The Music Man — Ahmanson Theatre
We keep coming back to the story of a con man in a small town because it is really about the moment a liar accidentally tells the truth and falls in love with the place he came to fleece.
Meredith Willson's score has outlasted almost everything written around it: seventy-six trombones, a romance conducted over a library cart, melodies that get into people who arrived determined to resist them. This is the big version, full orchestra on the grand downtown stage, the kind of revival that makes the cynics in the audience mist up during the last number and then blame the air conditioning.
The Ahmanson on Grand Avenue, an evening downtown.
For anyone who has ever been won over, against their own better judgment, by a charming disaster of a person. Bring the grandparents. Bring the kids. Let it get you.
