Recent comment on a Jackman performance of a little more than 10 years ago --
It could very well apply to his performance in "TheMan TheMusic TheShow"!
It just came to me that the reason why he is different from other concert performers -- is his ability to make the audience smile and laugh...as well as to make them cry! And this happens because the surprising element in his show ( we take his triple-threat gifts as givens) in his act are his wit and comedic timing... and his ability to plumb the depths of emotions when delivering his narrative. He is a very good actor and this shows in how he delivers his lines - he knows how to pause for emphasis or how to provide tension ( "Is he or isn't he?"), he knows how to improvise because of his good-natured wit, he knows when to be appreciative of his audience and when to give others full credit ( he never sounds too full of himself), he highlights emotional and resonant moments without being maudlin, he teases, he can brag( Gaston) and he can be utterly humble ( "From now on...") and he can make us cry at the end ( "Once before I Go) and he can even make us be part of his singing ensemble. It is the totality of emotions that he draws from his audience members that makes his show and his performance truly memorable! You feel refreshed and happy!

The range of emotions shown by this fan is a story by itself Hugh has absolutely no choice --- he has to release a video ( DVD/BluRay) of a version of his show! With special features covering some of the highlights from other stagings! No choice!! Jo

No generational gap among his fans!
Also, the likely market for the upcoming THE MUSIC MAN!

None other than the brother (and mother) of Arianna Grande The range of emotions shown by this fan is a story by itself Hugh has absolutely no choice --- he has to release a video ( DVD/BluRay) of a version of his show!

Didn't Hugh send special birthday wishes to Mama Grande once?

Yes, and there were those pictures of him with Arianna and I think also her mom. Didn't Hugh send special birthday wishes to Mama Grande once? Jo

Easily the most striking exceptions to the general tone of the show --
One engages the audience directly in a role that is unusual from other Jackman portrayals
And another which showcases his dramatic Oscar-nominated portrayal.
