JACKMAN PLANS CAROUSEL TRIP WITH OSCARS PARTNER HATHAWAY

HUGH JACKMAN is trying to persuade his Oscars dancing partner ANNE HATHAWAY to join him on the CAROUSEL.

The Aussie star has developed a script for the beloved Stephen Sondheim musical and he wants Hathaway to play Julie Jordan opposite his Billy Bigelow. He says, "I've been looking to do a musical film for some time and after things like Moulin Rouge!, Chicago and Hairspray, I think there's a real opportunity there."

And he's clear only Hathaway will do as his leading lady: "I've been filling up her answering machine with messages about Carousel."

Hathaway, who joined Jackman for a song and dance at the Oscars, is about to embark on her own musical journey - she will star in a new theatre and film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland's life.

(Yeah, and the article got it wrong, it's Rodgers & Hammerstein, not Sondheim.)

I have no idea if the source is reliable or not, I just really, really want this because they have SUCH good chemistry. Yes, it's a really messed-up relationship and such, but I think they could both do so good with it. Sigh, I know, won't happen, but man if it did ...

Sometimes I suspect Hugh would have chemistry with drywall. But yes, the Oscars bit was made of win - and I will happily get in line if this is true.

HOMG CAROUSEL??!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TO THE ABSOLUTE MAX HOMG HOMG HOMG.
Carousel is like my dark chocolate musical. Whenever I'm with my musical theatre buddies comparing favorites, I'm usually the only one to mention it, LOL. I guess they prefer the happy shiny ones. :P

My brother always says that the moral of Carousel is "It's okay to beat your wife. Really, she loves it!"

I'm intrigued to see how they might adapt it... and I completely agree that they would be great!

OMG!! That would be the awesomest thing that ever awesomed! (Although if they do it, I hope they record it, because the likelihood of me getting to see it in person is somewhere between slim and none.) I really liked that little bit of interaction at the Oscars, and I had no idea Anne could sing!
