Irving Berlin songs including “Blue Skies,” “Easter Parade”, “Cheek to
Cheek,” “White Christmas,” and many more. It’s a year-round classic
to make any holiday sparkle!

The Music Man - Chanhassen Dinner Theater
A fun and trans-
formative sto-
ry, The Music
Man is family en-
tertainment at its
best! This musical
theatre classic fea-
tures songs like “(Ya Got) Trouble,” “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “The
Wells Fargo Wagon,” “Till There Was You,” “Gary, Indiana” and more!
Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy
has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly
story to be shared with every generation.
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 boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, de-
spite 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 Mar-
ian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by
curtain’s fall.
Prior to the performance we will dine at the theater where you are
able to order an entrée off the menu. Please indicate who you
would like to sit with on your registration. Registration closes Octo-
ber 15 or when full.
