The main reason I started making impromptu trips to New York City earlier this year is because of how deeply I regret missing out on seeing the 2022 Broadway revival of “The Music Man” with Hugh Jackman in the title role.

Sutton Foster—who portrayed Marian Paroo opposite Jackman—has also played leads in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and even “Shrek The Musical.” Before she replaces Annaleigh Ashford as Mrs. Lovett in “Sweeney Todd” next month, Foster gets some surely-needed Florida sun during what appears to be a one-night-only Christmas concert in downtown Clearwater.

Tickets to see Sutton Foster play Clearwater’s Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on Sunday, Dec. 17 are still available and start at $49.
