30/04 Jackman plans Carousel trip with 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.
