This takes place a year after the events of "The Music Man", a musical by Meredith Wilson and Franklin Lacey. Marian Paroo and Harold Hill are now engaged, and Winthrop Paroo no longer has his lisp. Marcellus Washburn is happy for his old coworker, and the Iowans are happier and less stubborn. The Pick-A-Little Ladies (Alma Hix, Ethel Toffelmier , Eulalie Shinn, Maud Dunlop, and Mrs. Squires) still gossip a lot, but they now like Marian for some odd reason. The Barber Shop Quartet/School Board (Ewart Dunlop, Jacey Squires, Olin Britt, and Oliver Hix) take regular voice lessons from Harold, then perform for the town every Sunday evening. Marcellus is close to marrying Ethel, and the boys band is practicing to play at the weddings. Zaneeta Shinn and her sister, Gracie, were allowed into the band, along with Amaryllis and many other girls. The band is an extraordinary feat, especially from a man with legit NO experience. Mrs. Paroo is still as irish as ever, and Winthrop just found out he was adopted. Charlie Cowell apologized and now lives in town selling apples and other fruit. Mayor Shinn decided to stay in office a while longer after thinking of dropping out. Marian is the assistant to Harold as he teaches. If he makes a mistake, she'll point it out without hesitation. Alma is still the main soloist to the gossip of the Pick-A-Little Ladies. Zaneeta and Tommy are now dating, this time with Mayor Shinn's permission. Marian is now an official Pick-A-Little Lady, and her voice makes the group feel more like a group and less like a quintet. Alma started getting stronger, both in voice and in physicality. Harold took Winthrop to Gary, Indiana, and Winthrop loved it. Mrs. Paroo is still the nosy mama she's always been. Charlie is still a bit rude to Harold, but is definitely trying to be a better person. That just goes to show how much can change in a year, for better or for worse. Go back in time to 1912 as your imagination runs wild.
