Hugh should really consider releasing an official video of the show ( maybe with special features to show how the show was received in different places) … instead of all the amateur videos that have been sprouting all over the internet  |

 Old photo from other shows? Because some tweeted photos show Hugh with a full beard.  |

The song that Broadway ignored ( because it was supposed to be " too Australian") ...
but Hugh chose to resurrect in the arena tour ( 2006).. and which is now a staple ( and a very beautiful, poignant one) in his live shows!
He never changed how he presented it in 2006 - even the guitarist JJ is still around -- and Hugh still chooses to sit on the left hand side of the stage to sing it!

Feeling nostalgic …
Just like that time when he sang it for the last time on Closing Night of THE BOY FROM OZ!

Multitasking  How easy is it to sing, walk bended to a crowd, shake hands or do high-fives, look good … May I share this experience from the past -- When BackOnBroadway was playing on Broadway -- I was seated on CenterOrch/second row-aisle. But there was no seat in front of me. So, when Hugh started doing the hand-touching during Once Before I Go, I readily joined the front-row people and had a brief touch of Hugh's extended hand. When I got back to my seat -- the man ( likely LGBT) who was seated next to me ( and seemed to be his greatest fan, from the constant yelling and enthusiastic song applauses) took my hand and softly rubbed my palm( as if that secondary touch would have transferred the momentary contact with Hugh's hand on his) Jo |

Could this be for YOU WILL BE FOUND? Or A MILLION DREAMS?
(Is this the costume for either number? I am not too sure which part this is.)
EDIT: I am now inclined to believe it is after a rapturous ovation for A MILLION DREAMS ( white shirt sleeves rolled down vs white shirt sleeves rolled up for YouWillBeFound). It resonated with him because of the many years involved trying to get his passion project movie musical get made... and maybe also with reference to this show, a personal musical retrospective, which he has said is also one of his dream projects?

The full clip -- Hugh was really emotional! Did he say "Dreams"? This must have been after a rapturous ovation for A MILLION DREAMS. We know what The Greatest Showman passion project meant to him -- and knowing some valuable insights on the road to the unexpected success of that "difficult" project - we can almost imagine how Hugh regards this acknowledgement! Also, in 2015, after the stint on The River, he happened to share with Michael Riedel that another passion project for him is to complete a personal musical retrospective (which he started with BackOnBroadway)-- and that must be TheManTheMusicTheShow! nypost.com/2015/02/05/hugh-jackman-reveals-his-next-broadway-plans/So many dreams which he had worked so hard for - now coming to fruition! Hugh deserves all the success and accolades going to him!Jo |

It's a tradition in the theatre in London/WestEnd that when they close a show, the cast/crew try to make the lead go off from his stage routine by distracting him. I have forgotten the term for it. Maureen Lipmann talked about it in her book Lip Reading...when they did it to Hugh. Btw, Warren Carlyle was also part of the original Oklahoma! team at the RNT/Lyric.
