From a Washington Post column by Catherine Rampell headlined “How ‘The Music Man’ might salve some of our country’s anxieties”:

Some people have emotional support puppies. Some turn to chicken soup, a fancy meditation app or homeopathic tinctures.

This year, my therapy has been the Broadway revival of “The Music Man.”

Examined in the right light, this show might salve, if not entirely solve, some of our country’s anxieties, too.
