Jackman escapes ‘Houdini’ musical

First writer Aaron Sorkin left the project. Now its star, Hugh Jackman, has also departed.

The long-planned stage musical based on the life of Harry Houdini has lost its leading man, with Jackman withdrawing from the role.

The Australian actor, who stars as Wolverine in the “X-Men” movies but who also has performed on stage in “Oklahoma!” and “The Boy From Oz,” cited scheduling difficulties, saying that he wasn’t able to commit to the time that the part required.

Sorkin had been working on the book for the musical, which is still expected to feature music by Stephen Schwartz.

But the Oscar-winning screenwriter and playwright has departed the project and been replaced with playwright David Ives, whose most recent success was “Venus in Fur.”

No opening date has been announced for the musical.
