| Yeah! Let's get an idea of what was REALLY going on in River City. Do you think that Marian had been a girl who had been "in trouble." Is that what Professor Hill was REALLY implying when he claimed that there was trouble right there in River City? |

| Revisiting the original announcement of the revival of TheMusicMan, via HollywoodReporter, provides some interesting insights on how this production is going -- "These are great American works of art that deserve to be put on stage with as much love as you can give them," Rudin told The Hollywood Reporter. "What I learned on Dolly was that there is an enormous hunger for them from the theatergoing audience. But the hunger I think is to see these Golden Age musicals done in a Golden Age way." "When you take on one of the 10 or so great, beloved titles, you're trying to do the urtext version of it," he continued. "That's what I think we did with Dolly and what we're going to do here. We're going to do it in a way that no one has ever seen it before. It's going to be big and beautiful and super-luxe and gorgeous and incredibly romantic, and very much in the world of why the show has lasted for 60 years." "When we did Dolly, my desire was to put 1964 onstage," said Rudin. "That's what we want to do here. We want basically to put onstage an experience that is our version of what we believe people felt when they walked in to the Majestic to see The Music Man in 1957, which is that blow-the-roof-off-the-theater, blow-the-doors-off-their-hinges musical-theater hysteria that only a handful of shows have ever generated. That's the job." The production plans for the revival did revolve around Scott Rudin's passion project objectives and Hugh Jackman's total interest in it. They were discussing the project for a number of years ( see above) before the final agreement ( especially on Hugh doing a full year's run). |

| The idea of Daniel Fish directing this production made me actually laugh out loud, so thank you, aleck, for that! I wonder what Fish's version of Hello, Dolly! with Bette Midler would have been like... |

| "Is that what Professor Hill was REALLY implying when he claimed that there was trouble right there in River City?" No, but it may be what he meant about "sadder but wiser". |
