The multi-talented Hugh Jackman is a chameleon performer who has excelled both on screen and on stage in an impressively wide range of roles. Returning to his song & dance roots, he has embarked on a world tour, The Man. The Music. The Show., delighting his fans and garnering critical acclaim. Performing hit songs from both Broadway and films, including The Greatest Showman, Les Mis\u00e9rables, The Boy From Oz and many more, Jackman is touring arenas accompanied by a live orchestra. Important to Jackman was the audience experience when putting the tour together, as he told Rolling Stone, \u201cI just want people to feel like they saw something on that night that could only happen in there, and that it\u2019s not a cookie-cutter performance, and that there\u2019s something fresh.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
