The Music Man Stars Sutton Foster, Hugh Jackman
JT Church will star alongside Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman in the classic Meredith musical, The Music Man. Although JT has not revealed his role, Foster will play Marian, the spinster librarian. Jackman will portray Professor Harold Hill. He is a fast-talking salesman pretending to collect funds for instruments for the town’s marching band.
Although he is planning on swindling the naive townspeople, something dramatically changes in Harold’s life.
Originally, The Music Man was going to open on Broadway in the fall of 2020. However, due to the world pandemic, everything has changed. Now, the Broadway revival will open on February 10, 2022, at Winter Garden Theatre, in New York City.
