I was disappointed in Hugh Jackman's performance. He doesn't sing well, with a mediocre voice and strange stylings of the songs. He overacts, trying to draw all of the attention to himself, and sometimes gesticulates wildly. His attempts at a American country accent are kind of sad. He tries to draw the audience in with lots of big grins, but that doesn't change all of the other problems. The great musical score is what saves this production.
