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
