Hugh Jackman as Harry Houdini: Actor to experience Magician in Broadway Musical by Aaron Sorkin

Hugh Jackman is actually using this stage factor seriously. Based on Deadline, the actor is placed to experience Harry Houdini within an approaching Broadway musical compiled by Aaron Sorkin. Obviously, Jackman isn't any stranger to singing -- he just finished a ten-week run of his one-guy show, 'Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway,' and it is set to star within the approaching adaptation of 'Les Miserables,' together with Russell Crowe, Hathaway As Catwoman and Sacha Baron Cohen. So, why a Houdini musical? Because the 'Wolverine' star (hey, remember if this guy performed a poor-ass mutant?) confesses, he's "been deeply intrigued through the existence of Harry Houdini since [he] was youthful." Jackman already described a magician within the 2006 film, 'The Prestige.' So, imagine: 'Prestige' + 'Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway' = 'Houdini.'
