Hugh Jackman's Radio City Residency: From Wolverine to Broadway King

Hugh Jackman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Hugh Jackman is once again commanding headlines, this time trading his adamantium claws for a microphone at Radio City Music Hall. The Australian superstar just announced, in blockbuster Marvel fashion with his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynolds by his side, a major 12-show concert residency titled From New York With Love set to kick off in January 2025 and run select weekends through the summer, ending mid-August. This marks his high-profile return to the New York stage, with the promise of a career retrospective featuring songs from The Boy From Oz, The Greatest Showman, The Music Man, and more, plus a few surprises curated from Jackman’s illustrious musical catalog. Jackman’s announcement was delivered with trademark charisma, jokingly shooing Reynolds away from any onstage involvement, a tongue-in-cheek nod to their wildly successful film as Deadpool & Wolverine shattered records, grossing over $1.3 billion globally and landing as the year’s second-biggest film and the highest-grossing R-rated title in history, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

Business-wise, Jackman remains a formidable box office draw, and his venture into this new concert series is predicted to draw fans globally. Single tickets go on sale August 11, and demand is expected to be intense, judging by the social media buzz that followed his Radio City announcement. On Instagram, Jackman maintains impressive clout, boasting over 34 million followers with strong engagement rates, cementing his status as one of the most influential entertainment figures online.

Offstage, headlines about Jackman have inevitably entangled his personal life. His relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster remains a fixture in entertainment gossip, keeping the paparazzi in hyperdrive and fueling ongoing tabloid speculation. Reports from Us Weekly and New Idea claim that Foster has moved into Jackman’s New York penthouse and has become a pillar of support as he navigates the aftermath of his high-profile divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness after 27 years of marriage. There’s drama too: Deborra-Lee is said to feel “shattered” that their dream penthouse has become the setting for Hugh’s new chapter. Meanwhile, neither Jackman nor Foster has officially commented on their relationship status, but insiders maintain the pair are “madly in love” and taking next steps together.

Amid all this, Jackman has handled intrusive questions and paparazzi with his usual composure, declining to comment on sensitive legal matters involving others, such as the Blake Lively court victory currently making New York tabloid fodder. In his social sphere, friends like Nicole Kidman have reportedly found themselves caught between loyalties as the Jackmans’ split continues to ripple through Hollywood’s inner circle. Despite the storm of headlines, Jackman is focused on the stage, ready to remind the world why he remains Broadway and box office royalty.
