In his show 'Hugh Jackman LIVE, from New York with Love', the actor showcases not only his theatrical prowess but also his authentic humility. Despite a successful career marked by Broadway triumphs and iconic roles like Wolverine, Jackman remains pleasantly surprised by his own achievements, expressing gratitude during performances. The concert, lasting an hour and forty-five minutes, features a rich variety of songs from his career, including music from 'The Greatest Showman' and 'The Boy from Oz', culminating in a poignant moment with his rendition of 'Soliloquy' from 'Carousel', emphasizing his emotional depth and versatility as a performer.
Though the actor has starred in five Broadway productions, shredded box-office records as the X-Men's vein-popping Wolverine, performed a whole other autobiographical retrospective, and even hosted four Tony ceremonies, his happy-to-be-here, gee-willikers excitement somehow remains intact.
In the course of an energetic hour and forty-five minutes, he, his orchestra, four backup singers, and four dancers offer a tour of his Hollywood and Broadway career, including several of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's sugary anthems.
Jackman, his beard now striped a distinguished gray, wears a slim three-piece suit, tie-less, as if he's still playing a huckster in 'The Music Man', or maybe a faith healer with great microphone skills.
The dramatic peak, perhaps predictably, is Jackman's tearful rendition of 'Soliloquy', from 'Carousel', which showcases his emotional depth and vocal range.
