The multi-talented Hugh Jackman is coming to Toronto this July to perform “Hugh Jackman in Concert,” his latest song-and-dance gig. The show, backed by an 18-piece orchestra, begins July 5, following an impressive sold-out premiere in San Francisco.
In a statement released Wednesday, Jackman said the show will feature some of his favourite songs that reflect his life and acting career, a career that ranges from the X-Men series to the Broadway version of The Boy From Oz, which snagged him a Tony award in 2004.
“I’ve always loved performing live on stage,” Jackman said in the release. “Toronto was where I shot my first American film, X-Men, and has great memories for me for lots of reasons.”
Jackson takes the stage at the Princess of Wales Theatre from July 5 – 17. Tickets go on sale at the Princess of Wales box office May 28 and range from $49 – $130.
And while it may not be as weird as having a tiger blood-imbued warlock come to town, we have a feeling that the content of Jackman’s show will be slightly better.
