Undoubtedly, now the biggest fan of his Music Tour - featured in so many social media mentions as well as film and entertainment sites! www.cinemablend.com/news/2482912/watch-hugh-jackman-go-full-on-wolverine-for-a-fan-at-his-concertIt is such a spontaneous fan-idol link-up!! People could feel the excitement as the fan was living a dream! Can you believe Wolverine could steal a show practically dedicated to musical theatre And of course it leads to speculation that Hugh Jackman might, just might, reconsider revisiting his most famous film alter ego Jo

The most dramatic part of the music tour -- it is very different from the rest of the show...and shows Hugh Jackman as an excellent exponent of dramatic musicals!
He would turn teary-eyed as he interpreted the feelings of Valjean undergoing his first epiphany -- the epiphany of redemption! It is no wonder that he won an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the convict-turned-upright-citizen-turned-revolutionary!

I wore my Wolverine t-shirt to the concert too! (I did get a hand slap!)

The clip about The Wolverine fan is mostly what you get in almost every Jackman-related tweet Hugh has endeared himself even more with fans and even non-Wolverine fans. G*O*A*Tof all superheroes!

Until an official DVD/BluRay is released Maybe Mexico would not be the best show, performance-wise, for official video purposes if they ever release one - as his voice seems to be going already ( after ninety-ish performances), but certainly one of the most heart-felt, especially when the closing show farewells are said -- start from around I hour/9 minutes/8 seconds( 1'09"08). It's not the complete show - and some scenes are not well-edited ( he truncated Gaston/Valjean's Soliloquy/TapDance&Drums) -- but it captures the farewell moments and the Million Dreams epilog ( where he tears up) which are shown in full. Also, do watch it on Full Screen - resolution may not be as sharp, but it's better viewing for me. PS: Best Supporting Roles - His costumes Sometimes they steal the show Jo

And also, how about those Mexican audiences? From all the clips I have seen, they seem to be among the most enthusiastic!

I found the Mexican audience behavior to be quite similar to our own occasional joyful outbursts! Our culture here has a touch of the Mexican. We were a longtime Spanish colony but our direct links were through the famous galleon ( ocean-going commercial ships) trade between Mexico and the Philippines. So, the love of song and dance ( ballroom dancing is becoming more popular here again after moribund decades), the love of fiestas and strong expressions of joy and approval ( which seemed very evident in the show) mirror some of our own cultural behavior. Hugh did make an effort to pronounce "Mexico" as Mexicans do ( "Me-hi-co"). Our language is peppered with many Spanish words ( "guapo" meaning handsome), with one Mexican fan saying Hugh is " guapissimo", meaning very handsome). My name has a touch of the Spanish, too ... Our country used to be called a more Spanish-sounding "Filipinas" Josefina

Mack The Knife seems like a big Jackman favorite - he has been singing it in his live shows (BackOnBroadway/#tmtmts) and even at his agent Patrick Whitesell's wedding ( ironically, he will soon be divorced from his wife who is linked to Amazon's Bezos)! It is a jazz standard made popular by Bobby Darin ( making it sound cool). I wonder what drew Hugh to such a song? At MSG, I touched his hand while he sang MackTheKnife...same thing for BackOnBroadway I've always wondered at the irony
