TO BE BACK ON BROADWAY I KNOW

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FINALLY BE
OPEN AND DOING PRESS WORK TOO.
>> IT IS BEYOND.
THERE IS SUCH AN OVERWHELMING
SENSE OF GRATITUDE AND NOT
TAKING ONE SECOND FOR GRANT.
AND THE SHOW IS SO JOYFUL.
SO I THINK EVERYBODY IN THAT
THEATER IS JUST SO THRILLED TO
BE ABLE TO BE DOING WHAT WE LOVE
AND SPREADING JOY TO ALL OF
THESE AUDIENCES AND SO IT IS
REALLY -- IT IS OVERWHELMING AND
EMOTIONAL.
>> AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
QUINTESSENTIAL BROADWAY
MUSICALS.
THE GRAND DADDY OF THEM ALL.
AND YOU GET DO WITH --
>> A HACK.
>> HE REALLY IS.
HE'S OVERRATED.
NO, JACKMAN, HOW GRAT IS THAT?
>> HE'S EXTRAORDINARY.
BUT AS TALENTED AS HE IS, HE IS
EVEN MORE GREAT JUST AS A HUMAN
BEING.
HE IS GENEROUS AND KIND AND I
JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST CRAZY ABOUT
HIM.
I JUST LIKE THE LUCKIEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD.
>> SPEAKING OF CLASSIC MUSICS.
YOU PLAYED 2011, "ANYTHING GOES"
AND THEN LAST YEAR -- WHY DO I
THEY KEEP GIVING ME THESE -- THE
ROLL IN LONDON SKN NOW A
PERFORMANCE OF THAT IN THE U.S.
LATER.
WHAT IS THAT LIKE?
>> IT WAS WILD.
I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD PLAY
THAT ROLE AGAIN.
BUT IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING
OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO
REVISIT IT.
AND TO BE ABLE TO DO IT IN
LONDON.
ESPECIALLY AFTER THESE LAST TWO
YEARS.
AND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MY FAMILY
THERE.
MY DAUGHTER WHO IS TURNING FIVE
TOMORROW.
WE JUST TAUNT ABLKED ABOUT THAT.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY.
AND THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
AND THEY FILMED IT AND SHOWED IT
OVER THERE, NOW THEY ARE SHOWING
IT OVER HERE.
AND YEAH, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'LL
HAVE IT FOREVER.
IT IS FOR THE GRAND KIDS.
TO BE ABLE TO SHOW MY GRAND
KIDS.

>> WE HAVE SOME IMAGES OF YOUR
CO-

IT IS SOMETHING I USE AS A TOOL
TO, YOU KNOW, HANDLE STRESS AND
ANXIETY.
I'M USUALLY VERY PROLIFIC WHEN
I'M GOING THROUGH SOMETHING.
LIKE WHEN WE WERE OPENING THE
SHOW.
