I don't think I'd want to sit through a whole evening of him 'just' singing. In a musical he's fine, but 90 minutes of Jackman singing maybe a little too much for me.

He probabaly sang for @ least 90 minutes in BFO

True enough. The concert will pretty much just strip away the illusion of a book that BFO had, and hopefully diversify the music involved.

He sings, he dances, he plays piano, he seduces the audience. bring it on Hugh.

If he decides he likes performing live as opposed to films more, he may come back to Broadway quite soon

Getting backing for a show with him in it would be a breeze so Wildhorn should star him in his next show. Imagine him in a Wildhorn show ? Wildhorn would still get crappy reviews but he would finally have a hit.

Imagine Jackman & Banderas in the same show. That would be a scalpers dream

Here's a bit more from Liz Smith today.

>PEOPLE, women especially, keep asking me to report on their idol Hugh Jackman. We already told you about his coming concert tour, opening in Las Vegas in April. But devout worshippers of this "Boy From Oz" should know Hugh has just finished filming "The Fountain" in Montreal with Rachel Weisz, Ellen Burstyn and Donna Murphy. And, one of the treats from Hugh's coming concert, will be a new song written especially for him by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. (These two hadn't composed together in years!)
