Broadwayworld.com reports that Hugh Jackman will be in the cast of the new Les Miserables movie musical. I think this is wonderful. My friends and I often compare Hugh Jackman to a fine wine, he just seems to get better with age.
And to those of you who only know his as Wolverine, Hugh Jackman is, in fact, a song and dance man, and he has a Tony Award to prove it! He won a few years ago for his work in the musical, "The Boy From Oz." He has also played many more musical roles on Broadway and the West End, including Curly in Oklahoma and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast.
Which role is he tackling in Les Mis? No one knows yet, but rumor has it he may be playing the lead, Jean Valjean. I hope this is the case, it's not a role I would automatically think of Hugh Jackman for, but I am constantly surprised by his talents and think he would do a fine job.
