So you’re working with Hugh Jackman. How does Hugh Jackman get to be Hugh Jackman? How does one get to have a career like Hugh Jackman? Well, he’s the kindest individual that most people have ever met. And he’s so generous. He finds moments throughout the play, every single day where he will connect with everyone on the stage. It’s amazing. It’s like, he’s someone you feel like you must be around. I start the show shoulder to shoulder with him. We sit together for a good 3 to 4 minutes before the play starts and we check in with each other and we talk about our day and how we are. Maybe we’re tired that day and sometimes we pump each other up or give each other some words of wisdom to get us through. One of my favorite things from him is ‘one scene at a time.’ Don’t think about the whole play. If you have two shows that day don’t think about both shows. Just do 1 scene at a time so you can be present. He’s incredibly present!
