Hugh Jackman announced an exciting new career move on Wednesday.
The Australian actor, 55, returns to his roots in live performance with a series of concerts at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Hugh, who recently split from wife Deborra-Lee Furness, took to his Instagram Stories to share the ‘Hugh Jackman Live from New York with Love’ poster.
The image, which showed the X-Men star smiling in a suit while walking down the street in front of Radio City Music Hall, also announced several 2025 dates.
Hugh also promoted the show with a funny video parodying the announcement trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds.
The Australian star sits on a sofa while addressing the audience.
“A little over two years ago, Ryan sat in this very seat and announced to the world that he would be returning for Deadpool & Wolverine,” Hugh began.
‘It was the moment of my life. I’ve been wondering what comes next.

Hugh promoted the show with a funny video that parodied the announcement trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds.
As Jackman did in the original viral video, Reynolds casually appears behind him, munching on an apple as he walks up a flight of stairs without a care.
‘Hey Ryan, do you want to come to one of my live performances at Radio City Music Hall?’ Hugh asks, to which Ryan replies: ‘What? Are you going to sing, dance and joke live? Am I going to be in this?’
Hugh shakes his head at the camera but shouts to Ryan, “Of course!”

The 12-show run begins January 24.
The gig announcement comes as Hugh learns to live life as a single man after ending his marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, 68, last year.
They announced their separation in a joint statement on September 15, 2023.

“We have been fortunate to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful and loving marriage,” they wrote.
‘Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth.
‘Our family has been and always will be our top priority. We face this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness. “We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives,” the statement read.
The exes signed the statement “Deb and Hugh Jackman” and added: “This is the only statement any of us will make.”
They married on April 11, 1996, less than a year after meeting, saying ‘I do’ in a Melbourne church. At that time he was 27 years old and she was 41.
Hugh and Deb share two children: Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19.
