Let’s make sure the first month of 2026 starts with something fun, mamas! After all the holiday chaos, you will need a night out at the theatre to treat yourself to an iconic Broadway musical that has become a classic for good reasons. This week we’re giving away 4 tickets to see “Meredith Willson’s The Music Man,” at Walton Arts Center on Friday, January 16, 2026 at 7:30pm.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy The Music Man follows traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that 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. Will she transform him into a respectable citizen by the final curtain? Featuring songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Ya Got Trouble,” “‘Til There Was You” and “Gary, Indiana,” The Music Man is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
Here’s a video sneak peek of the show. NOTE: (Keep in mind, this video is of a performance on Broadway, so Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster won’t be in the touring performances. But this video will give you an idea of what the show will look and sound like.)
