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

Hugh Jackman is really by using this stage factor seriously. According to Deadline, the actor is positioned to see Harry Houdini inside an approaching Broadway musical put together by Aaron Sorkin. Clearly, Jackman is not any stranger to singing -- he just finished a ten-week run of his one-guy show, 'Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway,' which is set to star inside the approaching adaptation of 'Les Miserables,' along with Russell Crowe, Hathaway As Catwoman and Sacha Baron Cohen. So, why a Houdini musical? Since the 'Wolverine' star (hey, remember if the guy carried out an undesirable-ass mutant?) confesses, he's "been deeply intrigued through the presence of Harry Houdini since [he] was youthful." Jackman already referred to a magician inside the 2006 film, 'The Prestige.' So, imagine: 'Prestige' + 'Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway' = 'Houdini.'
