Joz Norris Is Hugh Jackman Is The Phantom Of The Opera (WIP)
An English-language Fringe stand-up show by Joz Norris blending musical parody and absurdist comedy
20 years ago Hugh Jackman was offered the role of the Phantom of the Opera, a role Joz Norris has dreamed about his entire life. He turned it down. Now, an artist known for taking himself too seriously despite his creative output consisting of utter nonsense will play another one in this musical extravaganza that will reset the course of history.
