Great news for Aussies.  I hope he brings the show back to NYC at some point.

I would imagine, long term, that a US tour or Broadway production might also be in the works.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour continues through Sarasota, FL(Apr 24-25); Panama City, FL(Apr 27); Jacksonville, FL(Apr 28); Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3); then touring throughout Asia in June - August.

Too bad he is not in  a musical/ Still do not understand why he did not do the Broadway Version of Les Mis

I think his dad is quite ill. Maybe he wants to spend time closer to his dad's home?

^ Couldn't he just do that anyway without an elaborate tour across a continent?

 

Sick, pathetic POS

He has always wanted to bring this show ( which is a personal musical retrospective) home to Australia. It is something that  has always been on his mind as a show for Australians.  But the timing resulted in the show going to SanFrancisco and Toronto before it went to Broadway. It has also played in Istanbul.

It looks like he is playing in large arenas for this 8-concert date series. The first one will be in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena ( where the Australia Tennis Open is held).


If you had a chance to see his TBFO arena tour in 2006, it will be a different kind of audience - very exhuberant and very appreciative! They do love him over there!

His father is suffering a health problem related to aging, but he looks relatively alright from the recent photo posted by Hugh on his social media account. Their photo together is now his avatar or picture profile.
