According to E! Online this afternoon, Hugh Jackman will be hosting the 54th Tony Awards on June 6th (to be broadcast on CBS). This is his second year in a row hosting Broadway's biggest night!

He's gonna be one busy "Boy". LOL

I was there last year and he was FABULOUS! He's soo charasmatic and funny. Even during commercial breaks, he talked to the audience and was so great! During the last break, which apparently ended when the whole theater was singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning," he was telling jokes and taking singing suggestions from the audience. I'm so excited to see him up there again this year!
My question is what will he do if/when he's nominated for Best Actor in a musical?? If he wins, will he just come out from backstage?? Has this every been a problem before? Also, will Boy from Oz not have a performance??

Nathan was also the host the year he won for The Producers...so he just came right on stage to accept. I was there that year and while I was disappointed FM didn't receive a Tony, I was happy for the cast of The Producers.

I think his extraordinary experience with the audience from the show ( THE BOY FROM OZ) - his regular interaction with them is now very well known - will make him an even better host for the TONY's.

A busy day for him --

Probably rehearsing for the TONY hosting duties in the morning?
Probably rehearsing for the OZ presentation at the TONYs?
Doing the matinee at 3:00 pm?
Rehearsing his acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Musical?

This makes the Tonys that much more exciting! He was great last year. I'm so excited for this year!
