In matters of...? Box office draw? Appeal? Charm?

I think he's hotter. *dodges bullets*

Very talented, attractive men who are big box office draws.

He is better than Hugh Jackman. He is such a great singer, actor, everything. He is one of my favorite actors. He is very genuine. In my opinion, he SURPASSED Hugh Jackman. And he's more charming, in my opinion -waits for an angry mob-

I don't think they are alike, other than the fact that they're both attractive (and I happen to agree with ljay889 that Harry is hotter!).
Would love to see Connick host the Tonys a la Jackman!

I think none of them are attractive, and although i haven't seen Jackman onstage it seems to me he is a natural, Harry is a great singer, and that's about it.

Harry is more than a singer. What an incredible song writer. He writes, arranges, and conducts his own material. Real talent.

Both men are phenomenal at a range of thing (many of which they both excel at), but I wouldn't call them equal. Connick is a fantastic singer, songwriter, and arranger, and a fairly good actor with a lot of charm. Jackman is an unstoppable force onstage and a much better actor, though he's not half as talented musically. Both men are major box office draws, and they are suited to different properties. If I had to choose one over the other for a production I was producing, however, I'd choose Jackman in a heartbeat.

ljay...Harry might be a great songwriter, but i am talking about the Broadway performer Harry, i am not talking about his recording career or his achievements, maybe he is also a great father. But that is not what i care about.

Actually, Jackman would have been a PHENOMENAL Sid if they were going the more traditional route.

Jackman is probably more well known at this point as well.

I think that they came from two different part sof th eworld you know, so it's a different state of midn they are in. they both happened to be on broadway...but hugh jackman is known, but he's not like a LEGEND. Or, at least, not yet. Neither of them are. All I hope it that they both further their careers, and HArry goes on mroe broadway <3

they are so different.
i love hugh though..in anything he does..i just LOVE him.
i really enjoy harry on will and grace and all of his music. his christmas album is always one of the first played at christmastime!
i feel that hugh could more easily step into anything harry were to do as far as roles in musical theater..but i am not 100% certain that harry could step into things that hugh has done..like oklahoma or boy from oz. however..i HAVE been wrong before! so don't jump down my throat.

He is talented, but I am JADED. I saw Brent Barrett and Karen ZIEMBA in Encores!
One of the greatest shows I have ever seen in my life.
Brent's voice in the Pajama Game (Encores and Bash) made me cry.
Connick is wonderful, but when Brent sang "Hey There" it was in a different league. It was remarkable.

Let's have them both strip to the waist and have a sing off!
For BCEFA, of course.

Yes, they both have great pecs. And as everybody on Broadwayworld.com. knows, it's the only thing that matters.
