Hugh Jackman Show at the Curran in San Francisco

Hugh is doing a limited engagement show in San Francisco.

I wonder if he is also taking the show to NYC.

I join you in wanting Hugh to be offered the role of Jean Valjean in the film version -- he has the physicality, the legit voice, and the acting chops for the role of Valjean!

Re the show in SF, someone posted on ATC about a week or so ago that this might be a tryout --

There have also been some pure speculations that this might be a reprise of his one-man show ( called IN TIME) at a private one-night only performance at the inaugural of WynnLasVegas in early 2005. That was directed by George C. Wolfe and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall. His opening number for the 2005 TONYS which he hosted, called "Never Gonna Dance", was part of that one-man show.

It does look like this is going to be a brand new show as he has a different creative team, featuring two Broadway/West End names ( Warren Carlyle and Patrick Vaccariello) --
