We have occasionally read about his performances in private events ( the Walmart shareholder meetings, a private party here and there, etc). Here's another future commitment --

It's more or less a Letter to fundholders by someone from WallStreet ( the article/letter is interesting if you are keen on private finance). There is mention of a forthcoming event in November, including Hugh's name as a possible entertainer ...or maybe this was for a past event?
*Opportunities like this widens his audience reach. The audience is not likely to be the younger demos ( superhero and action movies) and may or may not necessarily be close to Broadway as their residences. But trips to NYC may coincide with Hugh stage engagements...and some may want to see how he does in films (fortunately, he is viewed as a more versatile actors these days)
*It also deepens his contact with the business world, as he would likely meet some of the top brass.
*It keeps his musical theatre skills, and to some extent his hosting skills, fresh!

23rd Annual Baron Investment Conference. Metropolitan Opera House. New York City. November 7, 2014.
Baron Investment Conferences give Baron Funds' shareholders; intermediaries and consultants who advise them; and our Firm's private clients an opportunity to meet the managements of several businesses in which their hard-earned savings have been invested. We ask managements to outline the prospects for their businesses and to "tell their stories," to tell how they became Ralph Lauren, Chuck Schwab, Steve Wynn, Tom Pritzker, Kevin Plank, David Rubenstein, Mitch Rales, Leo Melamed and so many other individuals we believe are unusually talented, hardworking, ethical and inspiring, but perhaps not as well known...yet.
We also give you an opportunity to listen to several Baron Funds' executives and portfolio managers, including me, and question us in the same way...unscripted...no holds barred.
Baron Investment Conferences allow you to judge for yourselves the talent and directness of individual executives of our portfolio companies and of Baron analysts, portfolio managers and executives. We hope this will help you judge whether we remain true to our objective of "investing in people."
We again expect more than 5,000 conference attendees this year, including doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, firemen, police and doormen as well as financial advisors, consultants, family offices, plan sponsors and other institutional investors.
We long ago replaced Beatlemania at breaks and lunch with surprise lunchtime entertainment like Harry Connick Jr., James Taylor, Hugh Jackman, Diana Ross, John Mellencamp, Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill, Lionel Richie, Kelli O'Hara, Belushi and Aykroyd's Blues Brothers, Jessica Simpson, Bernadette Peters, The Jersey Boys and The Counting Crows.
We've also added surprise entertainment at the end of the day that last year featured Barbra Streisand. Celine Dion, Sting, Jon Bon Jovi, Jerry Seinfeld, Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Sir Elton John, Billy Crystal, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond and Billy Joel performed in prior years...
