Hugh Jackman, best known for his portrayal of Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, is once again captivating audiences — not with adamantium claws, but through song and stagecraft. The Australian actor is headlining his first-ever live concert residency, From New York With Love, which opened on 23 May and runs through 4 October at the iconic Radio City Music Hall.

The show features an emotionally rich lineup of musical numbers drawn from Jackman’s storied career in theater and film. Fans are treated to unforgettable hits from The Greatest Showman, including “The Greatest Show,” “A Million Dreams,” and “Never Enough,” all of which showcase his vocal range and command of spectacle.

Jackman also revisits his award-winning role as Jean Valjean from Les Misérables, performing heartfelt renditions of “Stars” and “Valjean’s Soliloquy.” The themes of redemption and resilience are palpable, underscoring Jackman’s reputation as a performer who brings both gravitas and vulnerability to the stage.

Now 56, Jackman continues to defy expectations — his voice strong, his movements sharp, and his connection with the audience deeply personal.

Tickets for From New York With Love reflect the excitement surrounding the show, starting at around $86 for upper-tier seats and reaching over $1,000 for premium orchestra spots, depending on the date and availability.

In its early reviews, The Guardian praised Jackman’s showmanship and emotional sincerity, awarding the concert a respectable three out of five stars. While the production was described as more polished than groundbreaking, the review noted that Jackman's warm rapport and vocal prowess delivered plenty of heartfelt moments to satisfy longtime fans.
