The Music Man
There's big trouble happening in River City, Iowa.
A charming, music-filled period comedy about a con artist who finds genuine connection and redemption in a small Iowa town, built on warmth, playfulness, and the transformative power of community.
Traveling con artist Harold Hill targets the naïve residents of a small town in 1910s Iowa by posing as a boys' bandleader to raise money before he can skip town.
