Hugh’s back! Jackman’s national tour has commenced

Australia’s favourite leading man has kicked off his highly anticipated national tour, supported by a host of our most talented Triple Treats (it sounds so much nicer than triple threat!). Hugh Jackman’s Broadway to Oz tour is now playing in Melbourne, celebrating an official opening last night at Rod Laver Arena.

The multi-million dollar arena production takes audiences on a journey through Jackman’s life so far, from his early days in outback Australia to his vast musical theatre triumphs and to the first time he wielded the Wolverine claws in the blockbuster X-Men film franchise.

Jackman croons, twirls and shimmies through several medleys, including stunning tributes to classic musicals. A state-of-the-art lighting, sound and video production and a vast company of 150 musicians, singers, dancers and choir will support Jackman’s showmanship and infectious Aussie charm.

Broadway to Oz is a dream come true” Jackman said. “This is THE show I’ve always wanted to bring home.”

The show will play in Melbourne tonight, Thursday 26 and Friday 27 November at Rod Laver Arena before moving to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Broadway to Oz features some of Jackman’s greatest successes, including The Boy from Oz and Les Miserables and complete with an irreverent nod to the mighty Wolverine.
