On Twitter, Hugh Jackman, who was slated to kick off a serise of performances in Istanbul tonight, had this to say @RealHughJackman:

Merhaba. I have a left vocal hemorrhage. At advice of Dr. Kocak Dr Korovin I will cancel my shows in Turkey. Make no mistake, I'll be back!

Even though "Hugh Jackman - An Evening with Hugh Jackman" may be a set performance, it is in effect a concert that also contains improvisations. Hugh Jackman is a Tony-Award-winning actor renowned the world over, most notably by his roles in movies such as 'Wolverine', 'X-Men', 'LES MISERABLES' and 'Real Steel.'

When the Australian artist reschedules the concerts, he will put his talent in song and dance on full display, accompanied by dancers and a 32-piece orchestra. The show will feature various segments, including tributes to classic movie musicals like 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'Guys and Dolls, as well as odes to the Aborigine culture of Jackman's native Australia and Peter Allen, the Australian composer.

Jackman earned a Tony Award for his Broadway debut in "The Boy From Oz" in 2004, the same year he first hosted the Tony ceremony. The international movie star returned to Broadway in the 2009 hit "A Steady Rain' opposite Daniel Craig, followed by the solo concert "Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway' in 2011. In 2012, he played the role of 'Jean Valjean' in the musical movie "LES MISERABLES."
