| An interesting point re: celebrity. Any production built around a name (and, while Preston had a name, was he one, really, before he played Hill?) has faltered. The Van Dyke, the Broderick, and now the Jackman miss. The Music Man is a piece that doesn’t really need a star. It needs a star turn. A star can do a star turn, but this particular production needs significantly less Hugh Jackman and a lot more Harold Hill. And less tapping. |
