Quick: Name every A-list star you can think of who is almost equally famous for A) playing an iconic action hero and B) their work in (and passion for) musical theater.
Sure, there a handful of names that could appear on such a list, but, if we're being honest, there is only one name that it would feel like a crime not to include on one. So, if your list during the exercise above had exactly one name on it, there is a very good chance that name was "Hugh Jackman."
