Hugh Jackman heading to Broadway

Hugh Jackman has a new Broadway date - the movie star's one-man stage show will hit New York for eight weeks next month (Oct11).

The Aussie actor debuted his song-and-dance show in San Francisco, California earlier this year (11) and received rave reviews when he took it to Toronto, Canada in July (11) - and now Hugh Jackman in Concert is set for a run in the Big Apple.

The show features Hugh Jackman performing showstoppers and sharing anecdotes with the crowd about his life and career.

He'll be accompanied by an 18-piece orchestra.
