Exciting news - I didn't expect this until spring next year!
Hugh will probably complete filming PAN in England by end of summer? PAN is an origin story of Peter Pan, where Hugh plays the villain Blackbeard.

Posted: 5/8/14 at 11:41pmWhy on earth would producers want to put a Hugh Jackman show at one of the smallest theaters on Broadway? That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Posted: 5/9/14 at 12:23amBecause they're guaranteed to get the commerce, they can make afford to lean more on the art. I have much respect for Sonia Friedman.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 5/9/14 at 12:45amWhy not? It sells-out. It becomes a hot ticket. Ticket prices increase. And it sounds like they might go for an in-the-round feel which maybe drew Jackman to the piece.

I'm willing to make a wager that the ticket price is going to be unreasonably high.
High demand, limited quantity of tickets, limited time for him to be playing the role...
