In PEOPLE exclusive photos of the musical, which officially opens Thursday, Jackman and Foster shine as Harold Hill and Marian in the revival of the classic show.
The musical follows Harold, a con man, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader who sells band instruments to naive townspeople and who promises to train members of a new band.
Behind the scenes, Harold, who has no music skills, plans to skip town but is caught up in wooing the prim librarian and piano teacher Marian.
