Hugh Jackman on Tour
If you thought Hugh Jackman the action hero was entertaining, wait till you meet Hugh Jackman the song-and-dance man. If the Australian performer is a man of few (mostly grumpy) words as Hollywood's Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, onstage he is sophisticated charm personified, as demonstrated in his latest solo showcase, Hugh Jackman: The Man. The Music. The Show.
Jackman has alternated between stage and screen his entire career. TV provided his first professional experience when Jackman was tapped for a role in the Australian series Correlli the very 1995 night he graduated from Sydney's Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts. He first made his mark abroad in the leading role of Curly in the Royal National Theatre's celebrated production of Oklahoma! The West End production earned him an Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical.
Jackman first put on his Wolverine talons in 2000 for Bryan Singer's X-Men. That led to subsequent appearances in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand, among other sequels and prequels, ending with Logan in 2017. He also played lead roles in the romantic-comedy fantasy Kate & Leopold and magic-themed The Prestige. His performance as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables led to a 2012 Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Jackman's role as P.T. Barnum in 2017's The Greatest Showman provided the seed for his one-man extravaganza The Man. The Music. The Show. It features music from the record-breaking original motion picture soundtrack, performed by a live orchestra alongside talented dancers. It also includes audience favorites from Jackman's prior shows, Back on Broadway (2011) and Broadway to Oz (2015).
All of these career retrospectives provide slide-show and video glimpses into Jackman's family life, involve one-on-one audience interactions, and reprise his glittery Tony Award-winning musical-theater portrayal of flamboyant Australian entertainer Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz.
A philanthropist with a longtime interest in microcredit (the extension of very small loans to support entrepreneurship and alleviate poverty), Jackman also serves as an advisor to the Global Poverty Project, which imagines the end of poverty within a generation.
Saw the show in KC with my then 17 year old son. My son is partially deaf and we knew a big event like that with so much going on was going to be a challenge for him. But between the sign language performance and 'This is Me', we were both in tears by the end of the night. So grateful the show cared enough to include sign language. I can't tell you what impact that had on him. Amazed and grateful!
I saw him in San Jose and decided to take my parents. We went all the way to San Antonio to see him and everyone loved it. One of the best shows I have EVER seen!
My daughter and I both liked the show very much, I really appreciated that Hugh was in our town on a Saturday night making it easier to catch. We didn't know exactly what to expect when we purchased tickets, we don't go out a whole lot. The show was very entertaining including some audience participation. I learned a lot about Hugh's career even though I thought I knew quite a bit already. He had many guest performers so there was plenty of variety. We didn't want to leave our seats at intermission, he was timely with starting the show and coming back after intermission. We didn't want to miss anything.
My wife was very impressed. I took her for our anniversary. My son is 5 and that was probably only our 5th date night since he was born...pretty sure they have all been at Bankers life...this was her favorite one for sure. Crowd involvement was outstanding.
This was a family event for us. We have been Hugh fans for a long time and have a followed him from wolverine on. It’s not often we find an event all my kids will enjoy (ages 19,15&7). So it was kind of a big deal. We had purchased tickets for my oldest as a grad present and my 7 year old was beyond disappointed he couldn’t go. So we surprised him w tickets to the Indy show. He is a huge fan of the Greatest Showman and Les Mis. I do wish they had done more songs from these two shows but we enjoyed all the music. It was pretty cool that they included local choirs also. The Lack of availability of tshirts was a disappointment. We still haven’t been able to find one to purchase for him. There was one shop open and the line was atleast an hour long. Overall good show and he wants to go again.
Really a great show and the usher staff was excellent
I can't say enough about Hugh Jackman! He is amazing in every way. The show was superb in every single way! His tap dancing...Oh my gosh!
Hugh Jackman is a wonderful performer. I have seen him in the Boy From Oz and Back on Broadway before seeing him at Nassau Coliseum. I really wish I could have afforded the higher priced tickets and seen him much closer than I did. He is a wonderful person. You can see that he is a very caring performer, always interacting with the audience every chance he gets, especially with the children that were dressed up as "The Greatest Showman" Love the man
Hugh Jackman is a "Showman" in every sense of the word. Great, singer, performer, dancer! Great show!!
Incredible performance by an amazingly gifted, talented, and positive person. Great energy! Honored that he would spend his birthday with us :-)
