What to watch: Broadway In The Basin wraps up its 2025-26 season Monday, June 22, with a one-night performance of Meredith Willson’s The Music Man at the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, 1310 N. FM 1788. The Tony Award-winning musical begins at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

The big picture: The Music Man closes a Broadway In The Basin season that also included TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, Mrs. Doubtfire, SIX, and Clue Live on Stage!. Wagner Noël recently announced its 2026-27 Broadway season, which will feature Beetlejuice, The Bodyguard, Legally Blonde: The Musical, and A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical.

First performed on Broadway in 1957, The Music Man follows fast-talking salesman Harold Hill, who convinces residents of River City, Iowa, to buy instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he promises to organize before unexpectedly falling for the town librarian, Marian Paroo. The musical features classic songs including “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Trouble,” “‘Til There Was You,” “Pickalittle,” and “Gary, Indiana.”
