If I recall, that was just a song tribute to the great city of Gary. But the location of all the action in the show is in Iowa. Worms and all.

Every time I hear the "Gary, Indiana" song, I start singing the "Detroit" song from The Happiest Milllionaire.

And I'm sure she's a sadder but wiser girl for the experience.

Music Man takes place in River City, Iowa--where there's trouble. Gary, Indiana is where Professor Hill supposedly went to conservatory. Marian the Librarian's lisping little brother sings about it for reasons that escape me.

River City is the real-life Mason City, Iowa. Hubbo is originally from the area.

Here's the Meredith Wilson statue in the town square.

I call the role of Eulalie Mackechnie Shinn in the LoT production of "The Music Man".
