Hugh Jackman Headed to Broadway in October 2012?
Actor Hugh Jackman is going to have his work cut out for him.
Jackman, who just finished a concert tour, has five movies already slated for released within the next year, and has recently confirmed his starring role in the upcoming LES MISERABLES film, is reportedly eyeing a return to Broadway - this time in a starring role of his own making, by bringing his solo concert to the Great White Way next year.
While it's not yet confirmed, it's certainly a possiblity that Jackman is looking forward to, telling The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye that "I just want them to be fun."
A London set of concerts are being planned around the filming of the LES MIS movie and the Broadway version is aiming for an October 2012 opening.

Previous theater credits include Carousel at Carnegie Hall, Oklahoma! at the National Theater in London (Olivier Award nomination), Sunset Boulevard (MO Award - Australia's Tony Award) and Disney's Beauty and the Beast (MO Award nomination).
