Broadway Revival of The Music Man, Starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Delayed till Spring 2021

Not surprising, The Music Man, starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, has pushed back its opening. The Scott Rudin production now aims to begin April 7, 2021, at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre, with opening night set for May 20. Performances were slated to begin September 9 ahead of an October 15 opening.

Currently, all Broadway shows will remain closed through September 6, though an announcement is expected that will push that closure till Jan 7th, 2021.

"Despite the postponement, we are sticking together as a company, and we are grateful to be able to do so. And so we look forward arriving at The Winter Garden," producer Rudin said, "and to being just one part of what we expect will once again be a vibrant and exciting Broadway."

In addition to Jackman as Harold Hill and Foster as Marian Paroo, the announced cast includes Jayne Houdyshell as Mrs. Shinn, Jefferson Mays as Mayor Shinn, Shuler Hensley as Marcellus Washburn, and Marie Mullen as Mrs. Paroo.

We had previously stated that if Broadway is serious about increasing the presence of black performers on their stages, this would be a show that should seek to recast their practically all-white cast.

Jerry Zaks will direct, with choreography by Warren Carlyle. Online ticket buyers will be contacted automatically regarded refunds or exchanges.
