In addition to his ongoing Radio City Residency, Tony Award-winning performer Hugh Jackman has entered into a new artistic venture with the theater company Together, formed alongside producer Sonia Friedman. The first two plays from the company are currently running, with casts that also include Liev Schreiber, Maggie Siff, and Justice Smith.
"We're sort of the founding actors, and we're doing readings of other new plays," said Jackman on a recent visit to The View. One of the shows, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, is a two-person play starring Jackman and Ella Beatty.
"It was written just before the pandemic, and it won all these national awards. It's really cool because about half of the play... I speak directly to the audience every night and there are only 390 people. And sometimes, that's the best theater you will ever see," explained Jackman. The theater company aims to provide affordable tickets for theatergoers and releases $35 tickets every day at noon. Watch the full interview with Jackman now, where he also discusses his Radio City residency, appearing in Deadpool and Wolverine, and more.
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.
