Dear Liz et al,
You're right! "The Music Man" opened at the Majestic Theatre on
December 19, 1957 with Robert Preston playing the role of Harold Hill
and Barbara Cook as Marian Paroo, the town librarian. The show ran
for 1,375 performances. Preston reprised his role in the 1962 film
version which was the one with Shirley Jones as Marian
(not "Marion").
Regards,
Les
