Hugh Jackman (Van Helsing, Wolverine) in Oaklahoma
Renaissance actor Hugh Jackman proves he's more than just a pretty face (or a superhero, for that matter) in this impressive turn as Curly in the National Theatre's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" Jackman, accompanied by acclaimed thespians Maureen Lipman, Josefina Gabrielle and Shuler Hensley, sings the show's best hits, including "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and the title song.
I think that's as bright of an idea as casting Billy Crystal as the president in West Wing or Ellen Degeneres in Vanessa Williams: Untold Miss America story.

Jackman is notorious (the word I would use) for taking gay roles. Quite literally in his last broadway production where he played Peter Allen, the first husband of Liza Minelli (daughter of Judy Garland - you know, DOROTHY from The Wizard of Oz, and most well known lesbian ever, thus the term "friend of Dorothy" was born) Anyway, Liza (flake and lesbian) married this flaming gay guy, Peter Allen, and now for some reason there's a broadway play about him. Anyway, Hugh Jackman took the role in "The Boy from Oz" the aforementioned play to star as super-gay Peter Allen. Why? I don't know... one more reason Hollywood should just leave comic books alone.
