Hugh Jackman gives small Melbourne theatre huge celebrity endorsement


Hugh Jackman has given a huge shout out to a little local theatre in regional Victoria. 'I recommend you go and check out this gem of a play. It's an Aussie play,' he said.

The Aussie A-lister, 56, took to his Instagram Stories on Saturday to drum up support for his old drama school mate, Mark Constable, who is putting on an Australian comedy 'The Appleton Ladies Potato Race' at the Mountview Theatre in Macedon from June 13 'When Penny Anderson, the town’s new GP, returns to her childhood home of Appleton, she’s shocked to find the local potato race prize still sits at $1000 for men and just $200 for women,' a synopsis for the play reads. Hugh, who is currently starring in his one-man live show at Radio City and his new off-Broadway play 'Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes', recently appeared on Good Morning America to talk about why he returned to the stage.
