In just under a week, The Music Man officially opens at the Winter Garden Theatre. Created in a time dominated by the works of musical theatre luminaries like Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Lowe and Leonard Bernstein, the musical is considered one of the greatest works of Broadway's Golden Age, though it was written by a lesser-known genius.

Below, watch as Jackman talks all about his latest Broadway role on the latest episode of CBS 'Sunday Morning. Plus, catch some brand new performance clips featuring Hugh and his Marian Paroo, Sutton Foster.

Performances of Broadway’s The Music Man are cancelled through January 5, 2022.

This year we're taking a look at some of Broadway's best shows to see where they land in the holiday equation. Since handsomely orchestrated songs built around specific feelings and happenings are kind of our thing, let's see which of our favorite shows can be tied to some of our most timeless Christmas tunes!
