Roll up! roll up! Hugh Jackman brings the circus to town.
-
Stand by for some big top razzle-dazzle. This colourful musical extravaganza inspired by the life of 19th-century circus impresario PT Barnum is a veritable three-ring spectacle. And in star Hugh Jackman it has the ideal ringmaster.
A winner of acclaim and awards for his stage appearances on Broadway and in the West End, as well as his native Australia, Jackman is an oldstyle song-and-dance man at heart – and perfect for the role of the man who basically invented showbusiness.
