Hugh Jackman Talks THE GREATEST SHOWMAN On Stage!

The central showman of The Greatest Showman, Hugh Jackman, is hoping to make a million dreams come true with a Broadway version of the hit film.

Jackman says, "Yes, I am interested for sure. When we were putting this together, we workshopped it like we would be a Broadway show. So I've been in rooms several times doing the material and I know it works. My theatrical bones know that that would work."

According to Jackman, the work wouldn't be just a carbon copy of the film. Jackman says, "You want to give something that would accentuate the theater and make it a theatrical experience. But the heart of it would be the same. I mean, that movie is all heart, basically."

According to Jackman, however, the plans are "not definitive at all [and] there's a lot of people working on what a live version would be."
