I'm watching this Australian documentary on the making of SUNSET BLVD w/ Jackman and I was wondering how old he was when he did this? He looks like he's 16! He's so star struck by the whole thing too, it's absolutely adorable.
"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."
There was a brief clip shown on the recent DATELINE NBC interview with Katie Couric with Hugh in costume ( wide shouldered suits of the 1950's) singing a few lines from the title song of SUNSET BOULEVARD.
I wonder if this came from the same documentary? Where did you see it?
Hugh was in SUNSET BOULEVARD a year before OKLAHOMA! - so that must have been in 1996-1997. That would make him around 28 years old when it opened.
It was a documentary from Australia about the production. Kind of a makingn of type thing from the beginning through rehearsals until after it opened. I didn't see the DATELINE episode, so I'm not sure if it was taken from this or not.

1996 sounds right to me. The show played at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne. It was plagued with problems from the word go. After opening it limped along for about 6 months and closed. Jackman played Gaston in Beauty and the Beast the year before. I have this documentry (you speak of) on tape somewhere. You have reminded me I have it, my interest has been rekindled, I must find it!
