What risk did Jackman take with this play? Saying that implies some kind of possible personal hit. I don't see anything risky about the play (which I liked, but did not find revelatory or daring, already being a fan of the playwright, who isn't an unknown) and even if it had bombed, I don't see how he would have suffered some kind of career damage. I can appreciate - very much = stars bringing new work to light, but for someone like Jackman, I don't think I agree that "risk" is the right word. (And, personally, I appreciate more their bringing attention to new plays being produced outside of Broadway.)
