The musical rocketed Meredith Willson to fame and brought him a lot of acclaim and recognition. He became one of the most talked about playwrights in American Musical Theater. Btu coming up with a creation like the The Music Man was not an overnight project. It had been many years in the making. The idea for the show was first suggested by Frank Loesser. Loesser was fascinated by Willson's tales of growing up in his small Iowa town. So work on the play began, but it took another eight years before Willson was satisfied with the script. In this period he had gone through more than 30 revisions and written more than 40 different songs.
The Music Man is set in 1912 and is the story of a traveling salesman and con-man, Harold Hill. He visits a small Iowa town which he visits to sell musical instruments. Using his fast-talking style and cunning mind, "Professor" Harold Hill convinces the town folk that he can teach their children how to play in a marching band. But he states that unless the town follow his advice the children of River City will be doomed forever. He lures the parents into buying the musical instruments and expensive uniforms in order to form the River City Boys Band. However he does not expect to fall in love with the spinster librarian, Marian Paroo. But his credentials are questioned when chaos breaks loose and he must prove himself to the people of River City.
