“Thefirst musical I was ever part ofwas the phenomenalThe Music Man,” Jackman said in a March 2019 statement. “The year was 1983, and I was at Knox Grammar School in Sydney, Australia. I was one of the traveling salesmen, and I think I can actually (almost) remember that unforgettable opening number! That was probably the moment when the magic of theater was born in me.”
“The idea ofbringingThe Music Manback to Broadwayhas been lurking in the back of my brain for a long time, maybe even for 35 years,” he continued. “When Scott Rudin called me with that very idea, I was floored. To finally be doing this is a huge thrill.”
The Music Manwill begin performances on Dec. 20 and officially open on Feb. 10, 2022, according toBroadway.com.
