Hairspray & X-Men Star James Marsden Reveals His 'Dream and Fear' of Performing on Broadway

Hairspray, Enchanted and X-Men film star James Marsden revealed his Broadway "dreams" and "fears" to ContactMusic.com.

Marsden remarked that he would love to pursue his Broadway dreams - but is anxious that his nerves of having them come true would actually get the better of him.

He declared, "I would love to do Broadway eventually but I'm absolutely terrified of it. Anything live is hard enough. But it's the flying without a net thing that scares me. If I do it I'd love to do something off, off, off Broadway! For three people!"

James Marsden played dance show host Corny Collins in the Hairspray film. He starred alongside John Travolta as Edna Turnblad, Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle, Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma Von Tussle, Brittany Snow as Velma Von Tussle, Amanda Bynes as Penny Pingleton, Zac Efron as Link Larkin, Elijah Kelley as Seaweed and newcomer Nicole Blonksy as Tracy Turnblad, who helps to integrate a Baltimore dance show-and wins the heart of Link in the process.

Marsden has played Cyclops the in the X-Men films. Other film credits include Enchanted, Superman Returns, Heights, The Notebook, The 24th Day, Zoolander, Sugar & Spice and Gossip. TV credits include "Ally McBeal," "Party of Five," and "Blossom."

The film version of Hairspray was directed by Adam Shankman (Bringing Down the House) and produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, for their Zadan/Meron Productions, which previously executive produced the Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning Best Picture Chicago.
