Tony Award winner Jackman is hot off his record breaking run "Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway" which closed Sunday. The one man show raked in $2 million its final week bringing in a total of $14.6 million.
Jackman has signed on to play Houdini in the 2013-14 Broadway run written by Academy Award and six-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Sorkin ("The West Wing," "The Social Network").
"I have been deeply fascinated by the life of Harry Houdini since I was young, and in many ways I've been preparing for this role my whole life. I am thrilled to be collaborating with this collection of artists who are all at the top of their game," Jackman said in a statement, obtained by the New York Times. Not much else has been revealed about the project.
Jackman, of course, has played a magician before in Christopher Nolan's The Prestige.
