...I just saw it, and it's fantastic.

I'm not usually much for musicals, but damn. Wolverine can sing AND dance. The choreography is terrific, the songs are good, the film's editing is done with precision, and it's just a really good time. Highly recommend it.

He did a great opening routine at the Oscars one year, and was in a production of Oklahoma! for a bunch of years, and (I think) he has a Tony award for a Broadway musical, too.

Honestly had no idea Hugh Jackman ever did anything like that, but judging from this performance that's obviously a side of him I wasn't aware of. :)

He's also in Les Miserables.

While the film itself is of debatable quality, his performance in Baz Luhrmann's Australia makes me not surprised that he has a passion for this. 


And lest there be any doubt that The Greatest Showman is something about which he is personally enthusiastic, just watch this clip:

He was actually in the Broadway production of "The Boy from Oz" and won a Tony for it.

Jackman's for real as far as having singing / dancing cred.
