Hugh Jackman Broadway Bound Again

Hugh Jackman will be on Broadway from October 25 in a one man show, Back on Broadway, singing music theatre songs, backed by an 18-piece orchestra.

The show, to play at the Broadhurst Theatre, will have its opening night on November 10, and play until January 1.

The show is described as “a personal selection” Jackman’s favorite musical numbers that reflect on his life and career.

It is the same show which played sold out runs in San Francisco and Toronto.

Back on Broadway will be produced by Robert Fox and The Shubert Organisation, with a creative team including Warren Carlyle (musical staging and choreography), Patrick Vaccariello (musical direction), John Lee Beatty (scenic designer), Ken Billington (lighting design), William Ivey Long (costume design), John Shivers (sound design) and Alexander V. Nichols (projection and video design).

Before starring in The Boy From Oz on Broadway and in Australia, Hugh Jackman starred in Beauty and the Beast and Sunset Boulevard in Australia, and Oklahoma! at London’s National Theatre.

He is scheduled to commence filming the screen version of Les Miserables early in 2012 alongside Russell Crowe.
