James Bond and the Boy from Oz are on their way to Broadway.

Daniel Craig, the latest cinematic Bond, and Tony winner Hugh Jackman will star in A Steady Rain, which opens on September 29 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

Previews begin on September 10 for a 12-week engagement.

A Steady Rain - Keith Huff's play about a pair of Chicago policemen - was a big hit in Chicago, where it received rave reviews two years ago.

Jackman won a Tony for his portrayal of Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz.

It will be Craig's Broadway debut.
