Showtune Sunday: Hugh Jackman sings “Not the Boy Next Door” from his Tony winning role in “The Boy From Oz”
Is there nothing Hugh Jackman can’t do?
He’s damn good at the superhero thing as we’ve seen in the X-Men movies, can make flawed movies like Australia actually enjoyable and when he takes off his shirt, straight women and gay men nearly faint.
But of all he’s done, Hugh’s greatest triumph has got to be his Tony-winning performance in the musical The Boy From Oz.
He channeled the late Peter Allen and was simply dazzling as you can see in the above clip of him singing Not the Boy Next Door. Then below, you can see Peter accept the Tony Award.
A true talent.

Favorite song from “The Boy From Oz” is “Once Before I Go”. Nothing like tearing out the hearts of an audience. You might enjoy this blogpost I did called “What Shower Scene?” http://jdurward.blogspot.com/2010/04/take-this-tune-what-shower-scene.html or this one about all the things wrong with Australia, but we watch it anyway. http://jdurward.blogspot.com/2010/01/im-my-own-grandpa.html

Jackman is so great. When he finally gets done with Wolverine, I hope he makes a movie musical and does a Broadway musical before the man forgets how to sing and dance. He is not using these wonderful talents enough…
