The Music Man (2022 Revival, Hugh Jackman)

Meredith Willson’s 'The Music Man' received a spectacular, multi-Tony-nominated Broadway revival at the Winter Garden Theatre in 2022, standing as an absolute commercial box-office juggernaut and the entertainment event of the decade. The high-stepping musical comedy follows Professor Harold Hill, an unprincipled, smooth-talking con artist who swindles the provincial citizens of River City, Iowa in 1912 by organizing a boys' band, collapsing into an emotional crisis when he falls into an affair with the town librarian. Directed by Jerry Zaks with choreography by Warren Carlyle, the blockbuster production starred international icons Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster.
