It depends on if you're talking about whether he sings in the number or is just present on stage during the number.

Harold Hill is actually a part of Iowa Stubborn. He doesn't sing a note, but the entire number is directly to him.

He does not SING in Pick a little/ Goodnight, Ladies much, but he has lines and sings one line to the Barbershop Quartet.

Are you playing him? Cause that's an AMAZING role

I played Harold Hill a few years ago; the only songs I wasn't onstage for were Piano Lesson, Goodnight, My Someone, My White Night, Gary, Indiana, and It's You.

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Actually, he does sing in the very beginning of 'Sincere' and he sings part of the 'Goodnight ladies...' portion of 'Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little'...
