I was fortunate enough to catch him open the US leg of the tour in Houston last night, and I have to say? It was SO much fun! Jackman’s in tip-top shape on all fronts; his singing was much better than in that one Greatest Showman performance they did outside a few months ago, and his dancing was fantastic. (I especially loved one part where he tapdanced to AC/DC, of all things. It surprisingly worked.) It’s well worth the time and money if you’re a Hugh fan!
Side note, but it doesn’t look like Keala Settle stayed for the US portion of the tour, because Jackman instead introduced a different woman to sing This Is Me while he went backstage to change outfits. The woman (I’d have to check my souvenir booklet for her name) was a GREAT singer, possibly even better than Settle, so I couldn’t really complain.
