When we were really close to going into production, other people started getting in Hugh's ear about the music not being good enough. I thought, 'What if Robbie Williams told him that?'
Hugh was fixated on Robbie as a real-world reference to what it was to be a great showman... He would say, 'P.T. has the audience in the palm of his hand.' And he'd be like, 'Yeah, like Robbie Williams in a live concert.'
Eventually, it was Robbie Williams who convinced Jackman to keep with the project, building a gradual friendship with Gracey at the same time.
