The story

What Is Our Town About?

The premise of Our Town without spoilers.

Set in a small New Hampshire town in the early 1900s, life moves slowly as children grow, couples wed, and generations live and die, while daily milk deliveries and newspaper routes mark the town’s rhythm and front doors stay unlocked. This musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s classic play stars Frank Sinatra, who introduces the song “Love and Marriage,” later famous as the theme for Married with Children.
