Hugh Jackman to return to Broadway in “Houdini”

Hugh Jackman just wrapped the stupendously successful run of his one man show on Broadway and now comes news that he will be returning to The Great White Way in 2013!

The Tony winner star and action movie stud will be starring as America’s greatest showman in Houdini, an original musical.

There’s some major talent involved here: Making his Broadway debut as librettist, Academy Award and six-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Sorkin who will collaborate with three-time Academy Award and four-time Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz.

Jackman said in a statement: “I have been deeply fascinated by the life of Harry Houdini since I was young, and in many ways I’ve been preparing for this role my whole life. I am thrilled to be collaborating with this collection of artists who are all at the top of their game.”
