VIDEO: Hugh Jackman Reveals He Saw a NYC Marathon Runner in THE MUSIC MAN Audience on GOOD MORNING AMERICA
The Music Man is now running at the Winter Garden Theater through January 15, 2023.
Hugh Jackman appeared on Good Morning America to discuss his new film The Son and to make a special announcement that The Music Man would extend on Broadway for two additional weeks.
During the interview, Jackman discussed that he noticed a New York City Marathon runner in the audience of the show yesterday after he had just finished the marathon.
"At the end of the show, I looked down and there was the guy with a medal and tank top and my first thought was like, 'Good for you' and then I went, 'The people next to him. That's two and a half hours sitting next to a guy that's just run for 26 miles,'" Jackman shared.
Watch the complete interview below, in which Jackman also discussed starring in the new film adaptation of Florian Zeller's The Son, alongside Laura Dern, Anthony Hopkins, and more.
Originally announced to close on January 1, the revival of Meredith Willson's The Music Man, starring two-time Tony Award, Grammy Award, and Emmy Award-winning star Hugh Jackman as Professor Harold Hill and two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster as Marian Paroo, will now play its positively final Broadway performance on Sunday, January 15, 2023.
