Hugh Jackman’s wife Deborra-Lee Furness is disappointed over the recent cancellation of “Viva Laughlin.” The show was the first project from the couple’s Australian based production company Seed.
Furness said, “We are obviously very disappointed, but you have to take risks in this business… Doing a drama that is a musical is going to be a huge risk… If I’m going to fail, I want to fail spectacularly, and it seems like we did.”
“Viva Laughlin,” based off of the British miniseries “Viva Blackpool,” was cancelled by CBS after two airings, while Australia pulled it after episode 1. Hugh Jackman appeared in one episode.
