Revised Post Hugh Jackman return to Broadway?

In a recent interview Hugh Jackman stated he's itching to return to Broadway. I have two roles in mind: the first is Billy Bigalow in Carousel (always thought that he would be perfect in the role) and, how about Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha?

Hugh Jackman in Carousel concert; Amazing, just proves my statement above.

The VARIETY cover article on Hugh Jackman was written in the context of the upcoming release of THE GREATEST SHOWMAN as well as how his career is now taking shape post-Wolverine :

The new movie musical, while set in the 19th century has a musical score by Pasek&Paul that is written with a contemporary tone ( Have you heard the full version of THE GREATEST SHOW?). And with his mention of HAMILTON and DEAR EVAN HANSEN, it seems that he is looking for new material rather than a revival. There was mention that he was involved in "developing a new musical" and in another past article he did say he would love to return to Broadway with work written by Pasek&Paul. Does anyone know if there is any buzz about the new project?

The same thought also crossed my mind.

Last year, he went to see Stephen Schwartz new musical SCHIKANEDER in Vienna but nothing has been heard about that. Plus it does not have the contemporary sound that he might have in mind.

We'll see.

Stuck in development hell.
