I wasn't sure I'd like this, I love seeing live shows, love musicals and I love movies, but I was unsure about watching a movie of the stage show. I only watched it based on the fact that Hugh Jackman was in it.
Plot In A Paragraph: Laurie (Josefina Gabrielle) and Curly (Hugh Jackman), like each other, they tease, flirt, goad each other, and go out of their way to avoid admitting their obvious mutual attraction. But hired hand Jud Fry (Shuler Hensley) has a much less wholesome desire for Laurie, and his obsession starts to boil over into a serious threat. Meanwhile Will Parker (Jimmy Johnston) tries to prove himself worthy of his sweetheart Ado Annie (Vikki Simon) before her father can marry her off.
The cast was great especially Maureen Lipman, she was the best Aunt Eller I have ever seen, Josefina Gabrielle, Shuler Hensley, Jimmy Johnston and Vikki Simon all do it great job. However it was Hugh Jackman as Curly that really carried this for me.
