Hugh Jackman is returning to the Great White Way. Throughout his theatrical career, Jackman has received rave reviews for performances in Broadway hits such as “The Boy from Oz” (for which he won a Tony Award) and his one man show “Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway.” He will also be appearing in the movie adaptation of the Broadway classic “Les Miserables” this coming holiday season. He has theater in his blood (along with mutton chops and sharp claws if you get my drift).

Now comes news that Jackman will have the lead role in “Houdini,” a new stage production set for the 2013-2014 season. In a preview of what is to come from the folks over at Ticket News, the show is not a traditional biography, according to producers. Instead, it tells the story of the “epic battle that took place between the world’s greatest illusionist and a trio of women, known as ‘Spiritualists,’ who convinced millions of people…that they could communicate with the dead.”

This is sure to be a Broadway smash – great topic, great lead and most likely a great score and storyline. Ticket information is not yet available as it is way too early to have that ready to go, but we will definitely have it for you once it becomes available.
