Tony, Emmy, and Grammy winner Hugh Jackman will lead the Broadway revival of The Music Man in 2020, producers announced today. "The first musical I was ever part of was The Music Man," Jackman said in a statement. "The idea of bringing The Music Man back to Broadway has been lurking in the back of my brain for a long time. Rudin is reassembling Dolly's core creative team for The Music Man, including Tony winning director Jerry Zaks. Like Dolly, The Music Man represents a golden age of musical theater escapism, and is bound to be a magnet for anyone burnt out by the drama unfolding on the political stage.
