Contact music tells us:

X-Men star Hugh Jackman is producing and starring in a remake of the classic musical Carousel. The actor’s production company is working with the Rodgers + Hammerstein Organisation for rights to use the music and lyrics the duo wrote for the 1945 stage musical. Jackman is set to play Billy Bigelow, a carnival barker whose temper puts him in the middle of a botched robbery and leads to his death.

Scandalous? Not exactly, but we’re trying our best here, people.

More photos of a sparkly Hugh Jackman, after the jump.
