The Music Man je američki mjuzikl za koga je scenario, tekst i muziku napisao Meredith Willson, a na temelju sinopsisa koga je napisao zajedno sa Franklinom Laceyem. Zaplet je smješten u gradić River City u državi Iowa, a protagonist je varalica po imenu Harold Hill koji nastoji opelješiti naivne građane predstavljajući se kao prodavač instrumenata i opreme za školski orkestar. Zaplet pokazuje što se događa kada lokalna učiteljica Marian Paroo prozre njegove trikove, ali ne prije nego što se varalica zaljubi u nju i riskira hvatanje.
