The Music Man : In Performance!

[ruby]

I’ll speculate that the auction date indicates HJ has locked in to pad his run a bit to offset Covid loses. He may be content to spend the holidays as Harold Hill then close shutters on TMM. (?) Could Sutton go it with another love?

Hello Dolly didn’t run beyond Bette’s engagement did it?

The Official Telecharge Page for selling tickets to The Music Man has been revised.

www.telecharge.com/Broadway/The-Music-Man/Overview

Information on blocked dates has been deleted.


If you look at the booking calendar --

They have unblocked the selling dates for October -- and are now selling tickets during the week, including on Oct 12 (his birthday) --

August dates are still blocked - maybe his vacation break?

September dates are still blocked - maybe to coincide with any potential entry of "The Son" at filmfests -- at Venice/Toronto/maybe Telluride?

Justin Timberlake in talks to take over for Hugh Jackman on Broadway

Will Hugh Jackman be passing the baton to Justin Timberlake?

Producers of “The Music Man” are in talks with the “SexyBack” singer to take over the iconic role of Professor Harold Hill in the Broadway musical, a source tells Page Six exclusively.

Jackman’s final performance is set for Nov. 6.

Timberlake, who has sold over 88 million records, has starred in movies like “The Social Network” and showed off his comedy chops as a “Saturday Night Live” host multiple times, but he has never appeared on Broadway.

The *NSYNC alum, 41, will have some heavy shoes to fill if he decides to take on the role as the lovable con man who changes his ways because of Marian the librarian (played by Sutton Foster in the revival).

Jackman, 53, has been a beloved figure on Broadway since he starred as Peter Allen in 2003’s “The Boy from Oz.” He has also had a one-man show on the Great White Way and hosted the Tony Awards four times.


Jackman is up for a Tony this year for his role in the musical.

The musical was supposed to have opened in the fall of 2020 but was delayed two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite middling reviews, the show has been selling briskly, no doubt due to the star power of Jackman.

The splashy revival has garnered six Tony nominations, including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical (Jackman), Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical (Foster) and Best Choreography (Warren Carlyle).

This week, producers announced that the show will be offering standing room-only tickets for every performance at $76 each.

Reps for “The Music Man” and Timberlake had no comment.

The NY Post article has been updated - indicating that the chatter is false!
