Well, the “Boy from Oz” plays his last show here in Toronto before moving on *sigh*.
Hugh was an absolute treat to watch – he was funny, handsome, dancing, singing and talking to the audience as if we were at a house party and he was the host. All of this wrapped up in a package of niceness *sigh*.
Sorry, can’t help it – it’s just nice to know that there are men like that who exist. One Toronto news reporter actually said “it’s almost illegal to be a man like Hugh – talented and a nice guy too!”
The only problem was the lack of opportunity to get a picture. Being a theatre production, no pictures are allowed during the performance (which makes sense). But Hugh didn’t give the audience a chance to take any pics at the end of his performance. I was actually quite surprised.
But the show was phenomenal. Singing classic hits like “Singing in the Rain”, to “Copacabana”, to a couple of hits from his “Boy from Oz” (Hugh won a Tony or Oscar for his role, I can’t remember), he just mesmerized the audience. It was 2 hour show with no intermission, but honestly, I didn’t notice the time go by at all. The show was money well spent.
Will he do it again? I hope so! The only reason he managed a stage show was his sequel to Wolverine (yes, a sequel!) was put on hold, then the disaster in Japan, where it was to be filmed, happened. So Hugh had 3 months free, and voila! A stage show was born.
Congratulations Hugh on such a wonderful performance and man, I hope you come back to Toronto one day!! 
The “Wolverine” is now the “Song Man” who is promoting his live theatre show starting July 5th in Toronto. As I do love the arts (and HJ, ahem), my friend hunted down tickets as soon as they were available for purchase. We have tickets for a July 6th show at 7:30pm at the Princess of Wales Theatre, in good seats. The price was reasonable, too, which shocked us. But the chance to see HJ in concert, singing and dancing on stage? Priceless.
