Hugh Jackman out of The Music Man this week? — Page 5

Like others have said, I love understudies and think they are extremely talented. However, I’m not going to pay Hugh/Sutton prices for an understudy.


All of that to ask: can I exchange tickets again? Can I do it online/phone so I don’t have to train in to the city?

When Hugh was out we received an email notifying us we could exchange but nothing for Sutton. Any insight is appreciated!

Try calling Telecharge-Customer Service. Tell them you would like to purchase new tickets ( same deal as the 1st set) for a new date because you are unable to go to the earlier performance. But before asking to buy new tickets in your behalf ( they can do that), ask them that if after the new tickets are purchased if you can have the older tickets cancelled. That way, Telecharge suffers no potential loss and you can move to the preferred date. I have done this before and I did get a favorable response - of course I do not know if all agents will treat your case similarly. Be sure that they agree to a cancellation AFTER you have purchased the new set before buying the new set. No harm in trying.

Did they alternate who played Marion this week?

FYI:

Today is the 110th anniversary of the River City Boys Band.

According to Hugh himself - until January 1, 2023!

They do deserve the week off - it is a very physically-demanding show.“



The same can be said for most major musicals on Broadway.

Good question!

Their total gross receipts from the first preview up to the end of this week ( 256 performances) will likely pass the $ 100 million mark...so they can probably afford it

The Music Man has gone DARK this week. Everyone has been given a week break.

Is this usually done? I remember that the theatre went dark, too, when Hugh Jackman had to take his breaks during the run of THE BOY FROM OZ.

Max would have been great. How lame.
