Lets Go to Oklahoma! with Hugh Jackman!

Thank you, PBS.

Legend has it that once upon a time – the late ’90s – a younger Hugh Jackman starred as cowboy Curly in a Royal National Theatre production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! and he was a-star-is-born magnificent.

Later this week, we shall be given evidence of said brilliance when the great and wonderful people at PBS air the 1999 filmed version of the production on Nov. 15 at 9 p.m.

I know it is passé to stay home on a Friday night, but, c’mon…you know you wanna catch this performance by a pre-X-Men then-30-year-old Awesome Aussie.

You can make a party of it!

So thank you, PBS! (It is worth repeating.)
