NAAP exists to lead in educating, cultivating, and stimulating audiences and artists, current and future, by showcasing exceptional work by vibrant artists of AANHPI descent. With a uniquely compelling American voice, NAAP brings Meredith Willson's Tony Award-winning musical comedy to the concert stage.
Wicked, funny, warm, and romantic, The Music Man follows fast-talking salesman Harold Hill as he cons River City, Iowa, into funding a boys' band he can't lead, until he falls for Marian the librarian and finds himself transformed. It's a story to be shared by every generation.
