Hugh Jackman Gives Facebook Audiences Something to Sing About

Wednesday evening, May 4 Hugh Jackman will take the stage in Hugh Jackman in Performance at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco, presented by SHN (shnsf.com), where he will perform his favorite Broadway and Hollywood musical numbers backed by an 18 piece orchestra. But for those wanting more, there's an opening act.

Only hours before the curtain opens for Wednesday's show, Jackman will participate in a theater first: the Tony Award-winning, Hollywood actor will be available for a live video Q&A, streamed directly on the SHN Facebook page. Fans from around the world will have a unique opportunity to ask the star questions and view his answers live on Facebook. The live Q&A begins at 4pm PST/7pm EST on Wednesday, May 4th.

It's these moments that make live theater so spectacular. Since not all theater goers can make it to San Francisco for the show, SHN - presenters of the ultimate Broadway experience in San Francisco, is linking everyone to live theater.

"We in the Bay Area, live in the mecca of the birthplace of social media, so it is only fitting that we would bring Facebook and Hugh Jackman together," said Carole Shorenstein Hays, SHN Founder. She continued, "We welcome a new generation to experience our theatres and as long as we continue to bring the highest caliber of performance to these theatres, as Facebook does to the social media experience, we will all thrive."

The marriage between theater and technology continues to evolve in the live events industry and for SHN to offer the first-ever live Q&A by a theater actor - Hugh Jackman no less - represents a new direction for Broadway to connect to audiences.
