| I'm surprised they don't have a "semi-name" actor standing by for Jackman. Like even Jefferson Mays, who is already in the company. Someone the general public knows. | |

| You think the general public knows Jefferson Mays? The average theatergoer doesn't know Jefferson Mays! | |

| That's true, Mays might be quite fine, since Harold Hill is actually a star character part; prior to his success in "The Music Man", Robert Preston had done Broadway, but was mostly known as a film character actor, usually specializing in villains. TCM recently showed a film noir of his, "Cloudburst", where his character is seeking revenge for the death of his spouse -- extremely different from anything happening in River City. | |

| Does Mays dance? Really dance? This new Music Man dances throughout. It’s an enormous dance role requiring fitness, stamina and weeks of rehearsal. The business with the suitcase and the hat and cane is tricky stuff. Let Max Clayton do it (he is the standby) before reassigning other cast members. Mays is terrific if not perfect as Mayor Shinn. He is not Harold Hill. |

| I'm sure the understudy and/or standby is quite fine and well-rehearsed (or at least shadowing the moves in the rehearsal room) in all the dances and business, though many times these shows fill understudies with chorus members, so quite possibly filled by a young leading man, who isn't quite Harold Hill either. In any case, I hope Mr. Jackman gets well soon. | |
