Hugh Jackman to headline London's BST Hyde Park

Hugh Jackman is set to perform at London music festival BST Hyde Park.

The 56-year-old actor will be performing musical theatre classics, accompanied by a live orchestra, at the festival on July 6.

The show - which is being called From London with Love - will feature Jackman performing songs from a variety of well-known musicals, including The Boy From Oz, The Greatest Showman, and Les Miserables.

The Australian actor, who starred in the Tom Hooper-directed film adaptation of Les Miserables in 2012, has also promised to produce a few surprises for his fans.

Jackman has enjoyed a hugely successful career in Hollywood, starring as Wolverine in the X-Men film franchise.

However, he has also starred in various theatre productions over the years, including playing Gaston in Beauty and the Beast in 1995 and Joe Gillis in Sunset Boulevard in 1996.

In 2004, he won a Tony Award for his performance as Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz. And between 2021 and 2023, Jackman played the part of Harold Hill in the Broadway revival of The Music Man.

The Hugh Jackman fan pre-sale will begin on Monday at 10am London time (9pm AEDT). Tickets will go on general sale on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, it was recently announced Jackman will play a series of concerts at Radio City Music Hall in New York in 2025.

The Hollywood star will play 12 shows at the iconic venue between January and August. The upcoming shows will be the first time he has performed in concert in five years.
