Other nominees competing in the category are Myles Frost, in MJ, Jaquel Spivey, in A Strange Loop and Rob McClure, in Mrs Doubtfire. In the famous toe-tapping musical, which was made into a film in 1962, Hugh plays a cheerful, but unscrupulous con man Harold Hill. Hill manages to persuade the little town of River City to buy musical instruments they do not know how to play. In return the charmer promises to keep River City free of 'sin'. Congratulations!

Hugh said he first appeared in The Music Man in a high school production in 1983 while he was attending Knox Grammar in Sydney.
