Meredith Wilson's seminal classic The Music Man at long last reopened on Broadway after two years of delays due to issues surrounding the pandemic, Scott Rudin—the original producer—and other problems.

And while The Music Man's long awaited opening wasn't particularly well-received, star Hugh Jackman has been praised for his performance. Jackman stars as as the eponymous music man himself Harold Hill—a conman who gets more than he bargains for when he stumbles upon River City, Iowa and their particularly headstrong and passionate librarian Marian.


He has also been ruthlessly teased by none other than Ryan Reynolds.




"I have the most amazing friends," wrote Jackman.

"Gorgeous flowers, champagne and heartfelt well wishes. I am blessed. And then, there’s him."

Alongside two portraits of Reynolds himself was a note stuck to one that simply said "Hugh, good luck with your little show. I'll be watching."




In reply, Reynolds simply retweeted Jackman without any further commentary.

But Reynolds and director Shawn Levy, who has helmed both Reynolds' Free Guy—which Jackman has a cameo in—and the upcoming The Adam Project were both in the audience for opening night.

Reynolds appeared to enjoy the show, posting to his Instagram story it was "actually perfect."




The Music Man is now running at the Winter Garden theater in midtown Manhattan, New York, New York.

Reynolds' The Adam Project will be released March 11, 2022.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
