Content Advice
Twenty years ago, Hugh Jackman was offered the role of the Phantom of the Opera, a role that multi-award-winning comedy legend/idiot Joz Norris has dreamed about his entire life. Jackman turned it down.

Now, an artist known for taking himself way too seriously, despite his creative output consisting of utter nonsense, will play another one playing another one in this musical extravaganza that will reset the course of history.

‘Sillier than ever before … a blockbuster of madness.’
