So nice that the elder Mr. J. is well enough to do such long-distance traveling. I hope his health holds up.

It really is great to see him looking so good! Hugh did mention that his Dad would be in the audience for the Tonys. Guess he and stepmum had some special time with Oscar while Ava got her Orlando vacation... Alma

Just teasing, of course I guess the image of Yul Brynner as the King was very strong and had even erased the memories of Rex Harrison's own previous interpretation of the role. It is a character study mostly -- the King doesn't really have too much to sing in the Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical. I saw a stage version with Elaine Paige in London, but I can't remember who played the King. I guess his portrayal was not memorable enough for me. But I am thinking, if there were a repertory showing of Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, Hugh would actually be suitable for each role in their big musicals, including that of the King of Siam! *Curly - check *Billy - check *Emile de Becque - that would really be "some enchanted evening"! *King and I - why ever not, it would not be "such a puzzlement" *Prince Charming - er..." do we love you because you're Hugh" at any age -- or do we let Hugh do some time travel to Hugh Jackman, circa 20 years ago Jo Emile de Becque! Yes yes yes-I've mentioned before how much I'd love to see him as Emile in South Pacific!! Can you imagine with some gray hair and a French accent! Drool! You're right about the King-not much of a singing part-I think Yul made the part memorable because he played it as such a tour de force! It was a great acting part for him. I don't think anyone will ever play it quite as memorably. Hugh has lots of great acting roles on stage & film so, for him, doing a musical should be all about the music, I think. Of course he may never play any role we have in our heads...silly boy! He'll probably continue to surprise us though, which will be wonderful too! Sue

I forgot about The Sound of Music -- Hugh would also make a perfect Captain Von Trapp ( perfect song choice for him with his high baritone voice - EDELWEISS) -- and I am sure the lift of his eyebrow to discipline the children beats Christopher Plummer's stern voice anytime Jo

I like this one from his Orlando vacation. Blackbeard scowling because Peter Pan fled... Alma

They must be in Florence. That looks like the famous covered bridge, Ponte Vecchio, crossing the river Arno.
Someone tweeted and posted a photo of Hugh whom he supposedly spotted in Florence, but I didn't quite believe it. LOL!
EDIT: I found the earlier tweet --

He meets David Michelangelo must have time-travelled in his mind when he was searching for a model for David's physique and found him in the future in one Aussie named Hugh Jo

Anyone know what these are from? They're recent. Sarah These are from the Montblanc Gala held in Florence two nights ago, which is the reason he was in Florence. They had a dinner event inside the Palazzo Vecchio there. The art gallery is normally open to the public, as in the photo below, but was obviously closed off for this private function.

All he needs is the slingshot. Pants optional. Ellen
