I'm guessing ( lol - I cheated - I looked at the Back on Broadway Playbill) -- Lara? Robin? Anne? Emily? Please correct if I didn't identify them correctly  Jo |

Loving the dancing more than ever!
He's at his most charming best when he does tap dancing!

Jo, I think you have the ladies' lineup right--at least I'm absolutely sure of the two at right. (I'd seen Emily Tyra in another show.) No Hillary, though. Great videos, all. Brings back some very nice memories. But doesn't it look odd to see him tapping without Kearran Giovanni at his side?  Ellen |

Ellen - it seems that he only has 4 ladies for the Istanbul concert ( he had 6 for Broadway), although I thought he was initially supposed to have 6 ladies with him for the Turkey show.
Maybe 2 are engaged elsewhere, including Kierran?

Someone posted the songlist --  *I am so jealous -- he sang a song from GREATEST SHOWMAN! This must be his calling card for the movie! Hope this performance does not disqualify it from a nod for Oscar best song! *He sang Valjean's SOLILOQUY...and ONE DAY MORE ( quite unusual to have this performed as a solo?). *He dropped NEVER GONNA DANCE - maybe the medley may not land too well with an audience who is not overly familiar with snatches of show tunes? He also let go THE ROCK ISLAND AUDITION from THE MUSIC MAN ( that was also another favorite on Broadway). But he added ARTHUR'S THEME from TBFO. *And where was I GOT RHYTHM??? *The New York song is I HAPPEN TO LOVE NEW YORK and maybe snatches from ON BROADWAY? *The last song is aka ONCE BEFORE I GO Jo |

Kierran is a regular on the MAJOR CRIMES T.V. show. Maybe she's filming in L.A.

Is he wearing tuxedo tails in one clip? So dressed up--yum. But unless he has a low opinion of his own show, his Instagram message, "Let's do this Turkey," illustrates the importance of commas! Looks like it was a great evening. Would love to hear that song from WORLD'S GREATEST SHOWMAN. Ellen |

I wonder whether standing ovations are as common as they are in New York. I'm betting not--which makes the recipients all the more deserving. So glad he was well received.

Unless the reviewer is prone towards effusive praise, those phrases seem to indicate how well-received the show was! Part of it, I think, was because nobody expected a big movie star, known universally as a superhero, to show so much talent as a stage persona! Wolverine singing, dancing, being funny and engaging, oozing so much charisma and sex appeal, and looking great! Note: Per BoxOfficeMojo, Les Miserables grossed only $.57 million while The Wolverine grossed almost five times that number, at $ 2.57 million in Turkey .The reviewer and the audience must have been as star-struck as Ben Brantley was Jo |
