The cast features Tessa Grady, Arlo Hill, Todd Horman, Denis Lambert, Liz McCartney, Hayley Podschun, Katerina Papacostas, Blakely Slaybaugh, Jimmy Smagula, Ryan Steele, Daryl Tofa, Diana Vaden, and Nicholas Ward.

As much as I love Sutton Foster, Jessie Mueller should have been cast as Marian in the last Music Man revival. Her vocals in this video alone prove my point.

I love Norm Lewis, his beautiful voice, the mischievous glint he gets in his eyes at just the right time, his great stage presence, and have enjoyed his performances in a number of roles. Perhaps because Robert Preston in this role is so ingrained in my head, I need everyone else to meet that standard. I have been hoping perhaps Hugh Jackman might have a take on the role that I like. As with Yul Brynner in The King and I, perhaps I will remain forever stuck in the past and never be able to appreciate new takes on Harold Hill. I’m happy there are those who obviously loved his performance. Everything changes and moves along. I could watch Jesse Mueller perform anything and be amazed at her talent.

If you have a chance to see the current revival at the Winter Garden with Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster - go see it before it closes on Jan 1, 2023! There is warmth, wit, fun, conflict, romance -- all the human emotions that make any artistic material appeal the most! The Winter Garden show is all about real human people, with emotions - the acting is superb, the songs are sung from the heart, not from the vocal cords, the dancing is energetic and joyous reflecting the emotions bubbling from within, the change in the town's sense of community is very perceptible...and the change in Marian and Harold's feelings so well portrayed - after all, it is an improbable love story made possible right before the audience's eyes and ears! Congrats to the cast for showing the audience the most obvious joy of performing in many a show on Broadway!

It h has been said in critical writing I read long about the lackluster quality of the song "My White Knight." For years I have agreed until hearing a snippet of Jessie Mueller's version. It was cut from the movie for a reason. In part to make room for a new song for Oscar consideration, something new for movie star Shirley Jones, but also because the song seemed dispensible. Yes, I know the legendary Barbara Cook originated the role, sand the song first, blah, blah, blah and I LOVE MS. COOK! But for the first time, this song really got to me.

Hmm. Interesting. I'm not sure which broadway version of The Music Man I like most. The 2019 version with Jessie Mueller or the 2000 version with Rebecca Luker. They both played the role of Marian Paroo very well. I'm aware there is a differences in the year it was played but which broadway version is the one I prefer, I do not know.
