After 46 previews, 374 performances, 53 broken box office records, over 610,000 audience members, countless "whatdayatalks," tossed books, cymbal crashes and a lot of Trouble, Meredith Willson's The Music Man has concluded its record-breaking, much-loved run on January 15, 2023.
Thank you seventy-six times over to the audiences that joined us during the run of Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man at the Winter Garden Theatre. Our hearts are full — we were truly glad to have you with us.
"My favorite Music Man memory is from the day we moved into the theatre. We had some time to make our way around the building to meet and greet."
"I have many wonderful memories of our time at the Winter Garden. Certainly standing on the stage for the first time was a signature moment."
“It goes without saying that I'll miss being on stage with this fantastic group of artists. What I'll miss most, however, is the laughter.” - Andrea Jones-Sojola
“Opening Night still feels like something out of a movie, it was so special. Getting to perform for so many familiar faces and then walk the red carpet with everyone I love is something i will always cherish in my heart.” - Mitchell Tobin
“I have played Mayor Shinn in St. Louis, Washington, and New Haven. At the end of the day, I will miss the incredibly committed, dedicated, talented people onstage and backstage of this extraordinary company!” - Mark Linn-Baker
“I will miss the family that we’ve created here. It’s hard to think about. I’ve made life-long friends, and I’m so incredibly grateful for that."
"I will miss the behind the scenes moments the most! Dancing with Benjamin and Sutton before her first entrance. Improvising with Hugh. These things help create a real sense of family and add to the life we have onstage and I will dearly miss all of them." - Shuler Hensley
“When this show closes I will miss this beautiful family who welcomed me with their whole heart. The generosity of spirit at the Winter Garden is truly unmatched. I feel so lucky to be a River Citizen!” - Amanda LaMotte, Ensemble
