Hugh Jackman's theater initiative 'Together' aims to create intimate and affordable theater experiences, breaking down the barrier between actors and the audience. At the Minetta Lane Theatre, Jackman's performance was marked by vulnerability and direct engagement with the audience, evoking a sense of connection. Directed by Ian Rickson and supported by producer Sonia Friedman, the company seeks to counter the overwhelming nature and high costs of Broadway productions, focusing instead on creating closer, unfiltered relationships in performances. The initiative reflects a broader vision for theater as a collaborative, supportive space.
Theater is always a contract between audience and performer, but years attending big Broadway shows have inured me to its fragility.
The starting point for this company was to not have a filter between actors and the audience, and for there to be a real intimate connection.
