Steady Rain to Make Jackman a Millionaire

Michael Riedel reports today that Hugh Jackman, along with his mustached co-star whose name we forget, will each earn nearly $100,000 per week for their roles in Broadway's A Steady Rain (the pair gets a base salary of $40,000, plus a sizable percentage of the sellout box office). Because the show will run for twelve weeks, this means Jackman should make $1 million by the time the show closes on December 6. We guess he'll have no trouble affording that sandwich. [NYP]
