It's been 50 years since Meredith Willson's hit "The Music Man" first appeared on Broadway.
In honor of that anniversary - and the 50th anniversary of Kansas University's Murphy Hall - University Theatre is staging the venerable musical starting next week.
The production is featured this week in the Pulse Podcast. Hear the director and cast talk about putting on the show, and what makes it popular after half a century. Also, you can hear several tunes, including "76 Trombones" and "Ya Got Trouble."
