instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the
cash. In River City,

prim but progressive Marian, the librarian, sees through him, but when Hill
helps her younger brother, Marian begins to fall in love with Harold.
Harold, in turn falling for Marian, risks being caught to win her.

Broadway,
winning five
Tony Awards,
including “Best Musical”, and running for 1,375 performances. The
cast album
won the first
Grammy Award
for "Best Original Cast Album". The show's success led to revivals and a

and a 2003
television remake.
It frequently is produced by both professional and amateur theater
companies.
