Hugh Jackman Gets Fishy as Jez Butterworth's The River Opens on Broadway

A remote cabin, some wine and Hugh Jackman? What more could you ask for? The Tony winner and Oscar nominee has returned to Broadway in Jez Butterworth’s The River. The drama officially opens at the Great White Way’s Circle in the Square Theatre on November 16.

To commemorate the play’s big night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the cast. In addition to Jackman, the portrait features Laura Donnelly, Cush Jumbo and a delicious looking fish.

Broadway.com wishes The River a happy opening! Enjoy your fish, wine and whiskey!



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
