Hugh Jackman saved The Boy From Oz from the universal critical pan that the show received, by repositioning it to include many break-the-the-wall incidents. Which people loved! He did the same thing for BackOnBway and was equally successful.
But I am not seeing this show for his triple-threat talent only. Nor for those 4th wall incursions! While it is true that I first saw him live in Oklahoma! in London, I did not even know him then. It was when I finally discovered his filmography that I became interested to follow his body of work. He is particularly good in drama, action, comedy ( including dark comedy) and eventually proved his worth in musicals ( stage & film). Two diametrically opposites are favorites - Logan & Les Miserables! He is arguably one of the most versatile actors these days - maybe even the one with the greatest range - as he has proved his versatility in both film and stage ( and even concert tours). I am keen to see The Music Man because I want to see again an actor/performer whose range is immense and who is very dedicated in sharing his talent with the audience.
Btw, if you haven't see him in Prisoners or The Fountain or Logan or Bad Education - give them a viewing...and see how he can show the depths of his acting talent. |
