Accompanied by an 18-piece orchestra, Hugh Jackman performs a personal selection of his favorite musical numbers that reflect on the stage and film star's remarkable life and career, from The Boy from Oz to Hollywood.

Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway follows recent sold-out runs in San Francisco and Toronto. Scott Weigand in the San Francisco Chronicle said "Jackman is a dazzling singer and dancer. It's not that they don't make ‘em like Hugh Jackman anymore - they never did."

In the Toronto Star, Richard Ouzounian said, "It almost seems illegal that a man this good-looking and charming should be able to sing and act with such skill. What makes Jackman and his show so spectacular is one word: talent. The man is an absolute wow."

The creative team for Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway includes Warren Carlyle (Direction and Choreography), Patrick Vaccariello (Musical Direction), John Lee Beatty (Scenic Designer), Ken Billington (Lighting Design), William Ivey Long (Costume Designer), John Shivers (Sound Design), and Alexander V.
