World Tour 2019

And Hugh's message to Olivia Newton John recalls this joyous occasion --

When Hugh and Olivia sang together ( with Keith, Nicole and Russell) during Oprah's visit ( and unfortunately also recalling that Hugh accident from the Opera House). But this seemed such a happy occasion as these Aussies who became very famous outside their homeland sing joyously of their love for Australia --

More on Ollie --

Because he has welcomed kids in his show - singling them out, dancing with them, carrying them in his arms, high-fiving them - the encounter with Ollie did not seem a publicity stunt at all.



It's a such a human interest story --

Hugh Jackman brings brain cancer survivor Oliver O’Reilly on stage

Sally Coates and Fiona Wingett, Sydney Confidential, The Daily Telegraph
an hour ago


Hugh Jackman cemented his reputation as the nicest man in showbiz at his show The Man. The Music. The Show on Monday night, bringing the crowd to tears with some audience participation.

During the show Jackman pulled six-year-old Oliver O’Reilly, who was wearing his tiny showman outfit, out of the crowd for a singalong and a hug.

Ollie was in shock that he was on stage with his hero.


Unbeknown to Jackman, Ollie has already lived a tough life, surviving brain cancer and losing his dad when he was just three years old.

Audience members say there wasn’t a dry eye in the house, including among the dancers, musicians and technicians.

The pair had a moment of banter that started with Ollie telling Jackman: “I’m kind of just in shock that I’m even up here,” he said.

“Me too, buddy,” Jackman quipped back without missing a beat, to roars of laughter from the audience.

“You’re putting me under a lot of pressure, Hugh,” Ollie said maturely.

“I just want you to relax,” Jackman said, getting him some water.

“That’s my back-up drink bottle, I haven’t touched it, feel free (to have a drink) you’re not going to get a cold or anything,” he said.

“What else can I give you?”

“I love Oliver,” he said, walking to the front of stage to continue his show as Ollie sat on a chair on the stage.

Ollie was wearing his Greatest Showman costume.


There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Ollie continued to watch the show from the stage, crying happy tears the whole way through.

Ollie’s mum Jo said the experience was one her son would never forget.

“Hugh brought him up on stage for a huge and experience of a lifetime,” she told The Daily Telegraph.

“He’s a magnificent survivor of childhood brain cancer and our favourite charity is the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation.”

Last night marked the end of Jackman’s Sydney shows, and he will continue touring through Adelaide, Victoria, Brisbane and Perth until September 3.

That's the kind of newsworthy stuff that media should bring out -- it is inspiring!

Not the likes of speculations about Robbie Williams co-starring in a sequel of THE GREATEST SHOWMAN ( which Hugh's publicity office was quick to deny)

That was such a lovely, cute and heartwarming encounter with little Oliver. Hugh really shines when he interacts with children.

I think the original poster was referring to a cymbal?

Lol - it is not as if this is the first time he has bled in a live performance. Remember l'affaire fish on stage for The River
