Tony 2004 Hugh Jackman Opener

[jmacleve]

Oh, my gosh... it just (2:59) got hot in here (or is it just me!) :)

[lesEtoilesalaNuit]

4:03 Dear Lord, I wish i was that puppet.... <3

[bonnie04]

He's such a stuuuuud!

[latindancer4ever]

Love that he can give a great performance and still have the time of his life while he does it! Adore him!

[ym4yum1]

He's the best since ever!

[12cowwoman]

wow, he is so amazing, dashing, handsome, talented..., and did I just droll on my keyboard?!

[12cowwoman]

@12cowwoman - wait, lo,m that's drool, not droll, right? and you guys were right, lol, those high kicks are amazing! wish I could still get my legs up that high! ;)

[Orcaheart7]

"Everyone has a dream. Yours is about to come true." I agree. When I saw Hugh doing those high kicks, I think my heart just burst. He has a great voice. The thing about the stage is, you only get one chance. In movies, you can do a couple takes. But, once you're on the stage, it's do or die. Hugh Jackman works the stage. He just lives to perform. Good think he's sexy. Hahaha!

[vampirelove75]

got he can kick higher than the rocketts! i love him so much. i think that he should rule the world, it would be a much better place.

[MissLilSummer]

I think any guy who can go from a musical to playing a kick ass wolverine is a true actor!

[iluvlittleshop921]

Is it true that the Tony's aren't going to be held at Radio City Music Hall next year?

[SDVR007]

@iluvlittleshop921 they would NEVER do that

its been there for years

[SDVR007]

this is a great example of how u can be BOTH a macho action man AND a singing, dancing musical star! hugh jackman is amazing!

[mmcharacter1]

he won an emmy for this. you think they would have given him a standing ovation for this. but no, he got one for the oscar's opening but not for the tony's this year or the next.

[CandyWoman009]

@mmcharacter1 I was thinking the same. Think it's jealousy that he has successful careers in both film and theater, really high standards or what?

[mmcharacter1]

Omg! There is just something about a hot and sexy man doing the can-can perfectly (I might add) that makes me melt.

[AussieMum99]

Hugh really makes it worth watching. Watched the past Tonys and this is the best because of Hugh, The last Oscars the same. Its great to have a real entertainer who understands the business. He has no tickets on himself and seems like a really lovely man.

[MikkiSue]

Lovely is the right word.

[Qawraqueen]

What I wouldn't give to have those long legs wrapped around me!!! *sigh* Hugh is awesome!

[Caite33]

and the next year "Wolverine does not do high kicks"

But he does them so nicely!

[winxlover21221]

if you like that idea, search for "x-men the last standing ovation". trust me you will laugh your pants off.

[cqsallie]

@Caite33 And no wonder he's been named The Sexiest Man Alive. Is there nothing this gorgeous hunk can't do?

[7facesofAvatar]

omg. he should be on next seasons, Dancing with the Stars xD

omg. I would die of excitement if he did =P

[IAmGypsyRoseLee]

Still my favorite Tony opening ever.

[rubino83]

Gee, if it wasn't for exceeding the height requirements, Hugh Jackman could be a Rockette.

[nubblets]

I would so love to be miss piggy right there,.

[lizwilsonnz]

It's not Miss Piggy. It's a puppet from Avenue Q called Lucy the Slut.

But I am sure wanting to be the one locking lips with him holds true.

[enblaablekksprut]

oh man those high kicks xD

[PRNeneChulo]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[SophiesMinion]

What spastic person was in charge of the cameras? I can't see the dancing when cut from 30 feet to 300 feet every 5 seconds.

[musicalsrmylife19]

YAY FOR SJB!!!! AS LIZA!

[an3033]

i LOVE hugh jackman.

[sixstringhero20]

he introduced the kids from hairspray as the kids from little shop of horrors and vice versa for the little shop girls lol

or maybe im missing something, but im prety positive im right

[jakegyllenhaalic]

No he said it right. The Dynamites are the ones who sing for Hairspray and the Urchins are the ones from LSOH.

[sixstringhero20]

im just saying he points to the wrong ones

[shirayukiberry]

Hugh Jackman can kick higher than I can T__T...

[broadwaymike92]

At 3:48 you can see a young Lea Michele

[BlackDutch1wo4man]

He's beautiful with red !! xD

[smel00]

Gorgeous Hugh. There´s nothing, this man could not do.

[creatiucom]

Amazing!

[maryfitzzz]

HE IS AN ICON

[DevlynLerra]

No wonder he was named sexiest man alive

[NewYorkBound]

I'm not contesting that he's amazing and talented and beautiful, but I must point out that I don't think he's actually kicking higher than the Rockettes, he's just taller, so his hips are above theirs, so his leg is higher but not at a more extreme angle

[irisindelight]

well it doesn't matter

it's still fantastic to see him kicking. =D

[draculalover08]

XD yeah, he kicks really high. I think his legs must be pretty long and strong. I couldn't do this :)

[livinoz9]

He is kicking as high as the Rockettes and in a three piece suit!!

[meredith33333]

God, he's amazing! It was so cute how he got kind of winded after the high kicks but he was still able to sing and even hit and hold that long note! Can't wait for the Oscars!

[jamesgirl208]

O.O Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. He's amazing.

[LostAbby]

he´s kicking pretty high ^^ wow i never knew that he could act ANd sing & dance !! reeeeaaaly talentted !!

[dlweiss]

Oh my...if I'm not mistaken Hugh is actually kicking HIGHER than the Rockettes!

[ggfanjase]

When I first saw this, I was in awe he was actually doing it better than them.

[llucya73]

how incredible charming is this man among men! how long legs!! he's nice and hot and... "one night only" could be enough to dream...!

[timsbro2000]

[dougray62]

[johnnyforeigner33]

[LolitaValentine]

*Swoons* Oh my god, this is the BEST OPENING EVER. I could watch it ten times and it's STILL as exciting as the first time. What a show!

[AngharadHudson]

Hugh was amazing! I watch his Tony's opening when I need a mood booster. He is so talented...and sexy...and those long legs and great smile - he is enjoying his life! Yummy! I hope he comes back to Broadway soon. Thanks for posting.

[ellenfan473]

He can maybe become the first male Rockette.

[dancedance4evr12995]

haha. ur right!

[sngion]

u forgot he can dance too! look at that KICK! definitely KICKS ASS!

[TsWade2]

That was the best Tony Award opening ever!

[AwesomlyRandom]

WHO KNEW WOLVERINE/VANHELSING/HUGH COULD SING! hehe, (I did, but I doubt anyone else did, hehe)

[ellenfan473]

Well he is the sexiest Aussie ever! OH hold that, sexiest man in the world.

[kikyo4815]

Wolverine doing the Cancan. Now, I have seen everything. lol

I LUV HUGH!!

[candles0969]

kikyo - that's not the Cancan. that's a simple kick-line.

cool opening to the Tony's. So much better than the opening with Rosie when she hosted.

Hugh rocks!
