Hugh Jackman is so charismatic

I saw The Boy From Oz yesterday and was completely mesmerized by Hugh Jackson. What a charming and talented actor. He does a superb Peter Allen. He interacts with the audience and even spoke to me twice and blew me a kiss. Really guys. The set design could have used a little work. That same black coach and view was in each apartment scene. I don't know if the show would have been as good if he was not in it. It would something like Antonio in Nine. To me, he was the show. The cast was, as always, very talented and it seemed like old home week. Beth Fowler played Peter's mom who I remember from Beauty & the Beast; Isabel Keating, was a wonderful Judy Garland, she was made up to look like her and had her mannerisms down pat, I remember as the understudy for Molly Ringwald in Enchanted April. That part didn't show the extrodinary talent of this actress. Also, Jarrod Emmerick was Greg, Peter's boyfriend, who I remember as Brad Majors in The Rocky Horror Show. The play had some sad moments which were to be expected but the finale was spectacular.

He spoke to me twice. I sat in the first row. He seemed to interact with people that were in the first row. The first time he had a long sleeved shirt over a t-shirt and he asked me if he should take the shirt off. I smiled and nodded YES!!!!!!!! Then he did the number with the top hat and tails and he was doing fancy footwork. He asked me if I wanted to see him do it again. I said YES!!!!!! Then after that he blew me a kiss. If I went to the night show, I would have waited until he came out and seduced him. Ha ha only kidding.

Listen to Bi-Coastal...towards the very end, there is a pause where Hugh will get up and either pelvic thrust or something...make an appreciative noise! Thats all!

I was in the center but the seat on the right aisle.
