I saw Hugh Jackman play Curly in London.  He looks better than he sings.

Years on years ago, "Great Performances" on PBS aired the production of Oklahoma! with HJ as Curly (London cast--I'm not sure). I agree with Paul--better looker than singer.

If, as I did, you grew up listening to Gordon MacRae sing Curly, nobody, but nobody, Hugh Jackman or anybody else, can touch him in that role.

We will have to disagree, just compared them. MacRae is too plummy for me.
