Hugh Jackman’s One-Man show seems to be facing some challenges. Ticket prices have been slashed, and it appears that interest isn’t quite there.
The 56-year-old actor is currently performing “The Lover Hugh from New York” at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, but the demand doesn’t seem to be matching the available seats.
If you’re interested in attending Friday’s performance, tickets are going for just $98, with Saturday matinee offerings starting at an even lower $60.
A premium seat can be snagged for $212, which is a steal compared to a nearby production at the Beacon Theater, where tickets can reach up to $680.
Reports indicate that Jackman is “struggling” with ticket sales for the show.
Despite the challenges, Jackman is set to perform for an additional eight nights across July, August, September, and October.
These slow sales follow the recent news that Deborah Lee Furness, Jackman’s wife of 28 years, filed for divorce after a year-long separation.
Last month, Furness spoke out regarding the split, seemingly alluding to Jackman’s relationship with his Broadway co-star, Sutton Foster. She mentioned, “My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has tragically gone through the traumatic journey of betrayal.”
She added, “While it’s a deep wound, I trust in higher powers and believe that the universe works for us, even if through challenging guidance.”
Furness reflected on her experience, stating, “This belief has helped me through the collapse of my marriage over nearly three years. I’ve gained wisdom, and though it can hurt, it ultimately leads to liberation and the chance to live authentically, within one’s values.”
She continued, “We all travel our individual paths, and I believe the relationships we form are not random. We attract people who help us learn our lessons and heal our broken parts… I will remain grateful.”
