Jackman to make ‘Music’ on B’way

Hugh Jackman is set to return to Broadway, this time starring as Harold Hill in a revival of “The Music Man.”

The musical, which is slated for an Oct. 22, 2020, opening night, will be produced by Scott Rudin.

Jackman (photo) previously cited the 1957 show as his introduction to musical theater as a high schooler. When he hosted the 2014 Tony Awards, Jackman, along with T.I. and LL Cool J, performed a rap version of the song, “Rock Island,” which opens the show.

Though Jackman first gained widespread recognition for his role as “X-Men” team member Wolverine/Logan, he’s no stranger to the stage. Jackman made his Broadway debut as Peter Allen in 2003’s “The Boy From Oz” and won a Tony for his role. He returned to Broadway in 2009’s “A Steady Rain” and 2014’s “The River.”
