The River – About the Show
Highlights of The River – Must-See Moments
Hugh Jackman, best known for his roles as Logan/Wolverine in the film “X-MEN” and Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables,” makes his highly anticipated return to the Broadway stage after three years. While he continues to shine in film and television, his Broadway career is equally distinguished – in 2004, he won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in “The Boy from Oz.”This production, receiving its American premiere, unfolds on a moonless night inside a secluded lakeside cabin, where the lives of three characters collide in a raw and thrilling exploration of desire and human connection. The show captivated audiences during its 2012 London debut, earning praise from theater enthusiasts. Written by Jez Butterworth, the acclaimed playwright behind the Tony-nominated “Jerusalem,” and directed by Ian Rickson, this collaboration with Jackman is one of the most anticipated theatrical events of the season.
Unlike the typical large-scale Broadway theaters, this play is staged in an intimate venue with fewer than 200 seats, giving audiences the rare chance to experience Hugh Jackman’s remarkable presence up close in a story that is both intense and unforgettable.
