As previously announced, 2 of the most celebrated versatile performers of all time Tony winners Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster will both be making their long awaited Broadway comebacks together as the stars of the highly anticipated revival of Meredith Wilson's romantic musical comedy classic The Music Man next year.
However to keep you entertained till 2020, here is your chance to experience the versatile stars of stage and screen live in concert this summer, If anyone is in NYC, they will both be making stops here.
Hugh Jackman (who will take on the iconic role of the traveling salesman con-artist "Professor Harold Hill") will embark on a full summer Arena World Tour of his critically acclaimed solo show. Under the direction and choreography of Tony winner Warren Carlyle and a full orchestra conducted by Patrick Vaccariello (lifelong friends of Jackman who will BOTH be involved with the new revival of THE MUSIC MAN), the tour will be a full set Jackman's favorite songs singing in auditions, growing up, and of course hits from his successful career (including hits from Rodgers & Hammerstein?s OKLAHOMA!, The Boy From Oz, Les Miserables – Musical, and The Greatest Showman). He will also be joined by fellow GREATEST SHOWMAN co-star Tony nominee Keala Settle (yup, who will of course sing the Golden Globe winning and Oscar nominated song THIS IS ME). The tour is expecting to stop in Europe, North America, and Australia. For NYC, Jackman will be doing 2 day / 3 performances stint at New York's fame Madison Square Garden (a.k.a. The Garden) on June 28th (7pm) and 29th (1pm and 7pm).
