Hugh Jackman Coming Back to Host the Tony Awards

Share

Neil Patrick Harris couldn’t do it since he’ll likely be a nominee for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” So Hugh Jackman is back, June 8th, on CBS. He’ll be singing and dancing on the stage of Radio City Music Hall. The Tonys will need him this year more than ever. The crop of shows coming in is not that star-studded, nor is it very blockbustery. The big musicals so far are “Beautiful” and “Gentleman’s Guide.” The ones still to come include “Aladdin” and “Bullets Over Broadway.” Revivals include “Cabaret.” Jackman will offer added star power.
