I spent many happy days visiting Glasgow in the late 1960's, when I was a young sailor onboard a U.S. Navy submarine tender stationed in Holy Loch (near Dunoon), Scotland. Glasgow is now a "Renaissance City," and I can well understand why Hugh Jackman would choose to begin his world tour there. Happy, but not surprised, about the reception he received.
Looking forward to seeing his show here in Southern California in July, then flying cross-country next year to Broadway and "The Music Man". Very excited!
