Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman recently returned to Broadway in February with the premiere of his new production of The Music Man, starring con man Harold Hill.

The actor last performed on the Broadway stage in 2003, but before that he was quite active in theatrical productions. By the way, her first theatrical role in 1995 was also to work in a musical – despite the fact that Jackman had no singing experience. In a new interview on The Musician, he recalls the first theatrical play in Australia:

Harold Hill, the protagonist of the play “The Musician”, arrives in a state American town, expresses the idea of ​​​​organizing an orchestra, but in fact plans to deceive the residents and get away with money. When asked if she enjoys playing the role of a crook (Hugh has played similar characters more than once in movies—for example, in the 2019 movie Flawless about the embezzlement of budget money in a public school), the actor replies:

Hugh explains the popularity of all kinds of scammers’ stories, with Americans’ interest in characters “who go against everyone and break the rules”:

Jackman has lived in the US for the past 20 years, but says in an interview that he feels like an Australian even though he sees the US as an “extraordinary place”.

The musician was nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Comeback and Best Actor for Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. The play made its Broadway debut more than once in 1957.
