There’s Trouble in River City…Yes, the critically acclaimed Broadway classic follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill, starring TV's Peter Scolari, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian. Does he stay? Does he run with the money? Featuring the award winning songs that have long become American standards: “76 Trombones,” “Till there Was You” and “Trouble.”
