THE MUSIC MAN An affectionate homage to Smalltown, U.S.A., Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boy 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, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. This Tony Awardwinning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an allAmerican institution, thanks to its one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches which have become popular standards. The Atlanta Lyric Theatre performances at the Earl Smith Strand Theatre are Nov. 7 and Nov. 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $32 to $38. Information 404.377.9948 or www.atlantalyrictheatre.com
