I believe the runtime was about 90-95 minutes.

This show is very similar to the NBC production. It runs straight through, no intermission, so be prepared for that.

There was a production in 2018 in Oregon with a lesbian Curley and Laurey, and a gay Will Parker and Ado Andy. See this article from the New York Times:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/15/theater/oklahoma-same-sex-oregon-shakespeare-festival.html

I just received this email:Despite the current suspension of performances on Broadway, we are delighted to be able to confirm our new schedule for the highly anticipated production of Hugh Jackman in THE MUSIC MAN.

In 1964, I was in Washington DC on a trip and saw "Fiddler on the Roof" which was in previews before going to NY. My mother's friend had gotten tickets and said, "This show is going to be a big hit when it gets to Broadway." I guess she was right!In 1967, I saw "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" (off Broadway) with all of the original cast. Andy Williams and Lorne Greene were sitting in the row right behind us.My first Broadway musical was "The Me Nobody Knows" in 1971. I went by myself becau...

I saw it Friday evening (12/20) at the Hippodrome in Baltimore. I thought it was amazing. It was 100 minutes long, no intermission. It moves fast without much chance to applaud, although for a few songs, people just *had* to applaud and squeezed some clapping in. It was very intense especially seeing it five days before Christmas. I am seriously thinking about buying tickets to see it in Hartford CT at the end of February.

I saw The Witches of Eastwick back in 2014 at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Ogunquit, Maine. I liked it so much, I went twice. James Barbour (currently playing the Phantom on Broadway) was one sexy Daryl Van Horn and I needed a double dose of him! Sally Struthers (an Ogunquit regular) was a lot fun as the town busybody/moral arbiter (sorry, don't remember the name of her character).Here's a clip from the show:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOneAYRiT-k

This is my first time posting, so I hope this comes through okay!I have a very clear memory of seeing Mary Martin in Peter Pan. I was in the balcony (first row) with my mother and Aunt Ruth. In the scene where Peter says he needs help, I leaped up and was ready to fly to the stage. "I'll help you Peter!" I yelled. Fortunately, I was saved from certain death (falling into the orchestra seats) by my mother and aunt grabbing the sash on the back of my dress (we dressed up for the theater in thos...
