(Ah, and wouldn't Jill Dolan have a lot to say about the way an audience unpacks Marian's plight as a spinster in River City! That aspect of "Music Man" is quite the wildcard in 2015, our perception of this woman's influence vis a vis inherited property and entitlement in a staunch patriarchy. Of course, isn't it interesting that she's unleashed, sexually speaking, by a man who's a capitalist criminal? And then, to get back to the topic; Dolan might find a white slave trader Mrs. Mears, a very compelling figure, tied to few options for women in "Millie's" universe.)
