There was a recent thread on BWW re the possibility of Hugh hosting the 2013 TONYs -- broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1057949&dt=18*Someone said that this has been an open secret for weeks ( presumably the theatre industry) and that Hugh is promoting HOUDINI early ( or did this poster just conclude on his own that Hugh might do it simply to promote Houdini?) *The TONYs will be on June 9 and will be back at the Radio City Music Hall. Earlier this year, Michael Riedel predicted that there is a chance Hugh may be hosting this year. MR usually has impeccable sources, but can Hugh's schedule permit it? XMEN:Days of Future Past is scheduled to start filming on April 15 ( Prisoners is supposed to wrap by end-March or early April). Although this is an ensemble cast movie ( and his participation wil not be as lengthy and may not require longer film shoots for him) - the movie itself may take the usual 4 months or so for a blockbuster. So, will he have time to prepare for the hosting? THE WOLVERINE is out in theaters on July 26, so assuming that the heavy promotion for the movie ( which may take him to other countries, too) is about a month, that gives him time to do the TONYs. Just wondering -- if it is true that he is allegedly promoting Houdini - does this mean that the show is surer now of being on its way to completion ( maybe for spring 2014?)?Jo

Yes, the "open secret" posting was discussed yesterday under Broadway: Tonys 2013? The possibility is intriguing--but we'll soon see.

Oops, sorry I didn't catch the latter part of that thread :-[
But it is a tantalizing thought -- if he has time for it. He did host the TONYs ( 2003) despite his Van Helsing filming commitments, prior to the season for TBFO ( 2004)...
Actually, I am doubly-excited if this means that HOUDINI is moving along fine, at this point !!
