Hugh Jackman is back on stage. Well, stages. In addition to his much-anticipated Radio City Music Hall residency, the Tony winner is also starring in off-Broadway's Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes. To preview both of these projects, the actor visited Good Morning America on Monday to discuss their notable contrasts and why they are both "dreams."
"[Radio City] is one of my favorite venues. Doing what I love, doing songs from shows that I've loved, getting to do some new stuff," said Jackman on the show. "It's probably, in a way, the most relaxed I feel. Sometimes I feel more relaxed on that stage than I do in life."
As for the contrasting off-Broadway play, Jackman noted that he "loves it." "We're doing it stripped-down, bare, not a lot of costumes or sets. [It's] affordable theater that everyone can go and see," he explained. "We're doing theater that is accessible, but, honestly, it's selfish. I love theater and I love Radio City. They're both dreams that I never thought would happen." Watch the full interview with the actor now.
Jackman kicked off his Radio City Music Hall residency, New York With Love, on January 24, with performances running through October 4. In his first live concert series in five years, Jackman is performing songs from some of his most iconic roles, also including The Boy From Oz and other surprises from his career.
