Hugh Jackman announces Radio City Music Hall concert series

NEW YORK — Triple threat extraordinaire Hugh Jackman has announced a 12-show series of Radio City Music Hall concerts happening next year.

After putting the claws back on for last summer’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the two-time Tony recipient (and four-time Tonys host) is returning to live theater for a 2025 residency at the famed venue.

The show, titled “From New York, With Love,” kicks off Jan. 24, 2025, with two additional dates each month between April and August.

Attendees can expect to hear tunes from “The Boys from Oz, ” “The Greatest Showman” and “The Music Man,” along with plenty of surprises.

Jackman announced the concert on Wednesday with a social media video, spoofing a similar clip he made with Ryan Reynolds to announce “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

“A little over two years ago, Ryan sat in this very seat and announced to the world that I’d be coming back for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,'” Jackman says in the video. “It was the time of my life … and I’ve been wondering what comes next.”

Reynolds then emerges behind Jackman and begins ascending a staircase.

“Hey Ryan, you wanna come to one of my live performances at Radio City Music Hall?” Jackman asks his one-time co-star.

 

“You’re gonna be like singing and dancing and joking live? Am I gonna be in it?” Reynolds asks.

With Reynolds out of sight, Jackman shouts “Absolutely!” while shaking his head no to the camera.

“I’ll break out the eyeliner,” Reynolds says from offscreen.

“No. This is my time,” Jackman whispers to the camera.

The two later appear on the couch and animatedly discuss the details of the show, but their conversation is drowned out by loud orchestral music.

The video ends with Jackman informing Reynolds he won’t be in the show itself but is more than welcome to attend a tech rehearsal.

Tickets for the show go on sale next week at FromNYWithLoveHJ.com. Registration for early access is available now.
