Mary-Louise, you’ve been acting on Broadway since 1990, most recently, prior to this show, in The Sound Inside, for which you won a well-deserved second Tony. But about four years ago, I don’t know, I went “ The Music Man! Damn, I’m almost 50, I might have missed the boat!” All of a sudden, I felt an urgency, so I rang my agent, who, weirdly, had had a call that day inquiring about me doing The Music Man. After I began acting for a living, for many years the idea of doing The Music Man at some point was bandied around, but I didn’t know when. JACKMAN The first show I ever did was The Music Man in high school.
