The boy from oz: McKenny or Jackman
Sat, 22 May 2004, 07:50 pmI was out raged when Todd McKenny was no longer the principal lead in "The Boy From Oz" and was replaced with Hugh Jackman when the show hit the US. Could someone please fill me in on how this happened and if you agree or disagree.

Hi,
I didn't get a chance to see Boy in Australia but know the way that Todd performs and in bits that i have seen he did a fantastic job of protyaying Peter Allen, he captured that moment.
Congratulations to Hugh, i agree with the comment that without Todd there would be no Boy etc, but i know for a fact that Todd was given a green card to perform in the US. He was preparing to go over when Hugh rang him and basically broke the news to him. I understand that yes it would not have been the sucess that it has been but i believe its a bit rough the way he was treated.
