Jackman Developing 2 Musicals
by Robert Diamond - April 22, 2009

As the publicity machine gears up for Hugh Jackman's latest film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it's nice to see that the star hasn't abandoned the world of musicals - in fact, far from it. Jackman is currently working on a remake of the musical CAROUSEL for the big screen, and the new musical HOUDINI for Broadway.

Both projects are still said to be at least another year off, which means that Jackman's theatre fans will have to be patient juuuuuuust a bit longer. The star is already said to be hard at work on replicating some of Houdini's tricks for the stage, which along with a score by Danny Elfman, lyrics by David Yazbek, book by Kurt Andersen and direction by Jack O'Brien makes this one of 2010's most anticipated new shows.
