HUGH JACKMAN, BACK ON BROADWAY
2011
"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" "Oi Oi Ooh-la-la!" America's favorite Australian was back on Broadway this season and the always entertaining Hugh Jackman didn't disappoint. Hugh sang, danced and joked his way through 10 weeks of sold-out shows, much to the delight of screaming and swooning audience members. And there were few screams louder than during the opening of Act Two when Hugh strutted onstage in the trademark gold spandex suit of his fellow Aussie showman Peter Allen, whom Hugh portrayed in The Boy from Oz, his Tony Award-winning Broadway debut. To honor the grandson of the "Tenterfield Saddler," Hugh bear wears a Peter Allen-inspired gold sparkle spandex shirt with gold rivet buttons and matching gold corduroy trousers – extra tight – in a five-pocket-jeans style. He’ll sparkle on any stage as gold spandex socks, faux-crocodile leather shoes and a belt of gold leather complete the outfit. Our Hugh bear also sports a perfectly quaffed, Hugh-inspired wig of brown faux fur. The entire package is the perfect salve to hold anyone over until Hugh's next Broadway return, now slated for the 2013-2014 season.
