Hugh Jackman Supports Australian Marriage Equality!

According to published reports, Broadway favorite Hugh Jackman and Olivia Newton-John are supporting the Australian Marriage Equality organization.  Representative Alex Greenwich commented, 'Australians admire celebrities like Olivia Newton-John and Hugh Jackman because they reflect our values of tolerance and a fair go for all, values which they are reminding us apply just as much to same-sex couples as to other Australians.'

Jackman made his Broadway debut portraying the 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, for which he received the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a musical as well as Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards. In the fall of 2009, Jackman made a return to Broadway in a sold-out engagement of Keith Huff's A Steady Rain co-starring Daniel Craig. He will begin filming the screen adaption of the musical, "Les Miserables," directed by Tom Hooper
