Posted: 9/4/04 at 8:43amPoor Hugh indeed, for the badgering about the reviews that he takes in the article. What is he supposed to say? He didn't write, direct, design or produce The Boy from Oz. The "new" Arts & Leisure sucks ass.

What a great article...
You mean from the stage. What about the connection at the stage door after the show?
A. Yeah, that could sometimes be a bit much. But John Travolta told me to ""look every one of them in the eye""". Sometimes that's all it takes.
-- That is so true.. He did it the night i was at the stage door and it was truely awesome..

That wasn't a bad interview. It's nice to see Jackman getting asked questions he wasn't already asked 5,472 times during the Van Schmelsing publicity bonanza. The stage fright story was especially interesting to me.
Oh, and forget pure exhaustion- the guy's been dancing on a fractured foot for months now. Ouch.

I loved reading this article. I didn't think it was possible to admire him any more than I already did. Bravo Hugh.
DId Hugh mention he had a stress fracture of his foot and has been dancing on it for months?

No, someone mentioned it on the BFO forum back in June just before the Tonys.

Posted: 9/4/04 at 1:30pmStyle, grace, class, intelligence, wit, talent and humility - and all packaged so VERY nicely. My idea of a role model.

Posted: 9/4/04 at 1:47pmIt's been reported that it's his right foot and he ices it after and wraps it before every show. It's been mentioned in other articles written about him - I believe he's had it since before the Tony Awards. It's been mentioned on the BFO forum and he's been asked about it at the stage door from time to time.

So beautifully said DGrant.
I love that Trevor Nunn calls him, "Hughie". I can hear Rod giggling.

Posted: 9/4/04 at 2:08pmMany people call him "Hughie" - I've read his family uses that nickname and I remember John Travolta called him that when they were doing interviews together for "Swordfish."

I'm not sure that would be allowed -- copyright issues and all...

Posted: 9/21/04 at 10:54pmHis consummate professionalism and love for the stage shine through. However, much as I love to see him back on Broadway time and again, I would like him to pursue a balanced career between films and the theatre. That would give him a wider plate to choose from and provide his fans a better perspective of what his talent can really deliver. I am already looking forward to his new film with Darren Aronofsky, THE FOUNTAIN. Hopefully, this role is of Academy award range.
