Just months ago, Hugh Jackman was the golden boy of the stage—charming audiences, packing venues, and delighting fans with his musical charisma.
But lately, things have shifted, and some say his recent divorce from longtime partner Deborra-Lee Furness might have something to do with it.
Now, with performances scheduled at New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, the spotlight is less about his talent and more about unsold seats—and steep ticket discounts.
From Sold-Out Shows to Slashed Prices
Hugh’s show “From New York, With Love” was once a hot ticket.
Back in April, fans filled the theater, eager to watch him celebrate his career with musical numbers from Les Misérables, The Music Man, and The Greatest Showman.
Fast-forward to June, and you can now grab a seat for as little as $20 if you’re willing to climb to the third mezzanine.
While his upcoming June 20 and 21 performances still boast some pricey orchestra seats, there are hundreds left.
Ticketmaster shows orchestra tickets going for $86 on Friday, $79 on Saturday’s matinee, and even $62 for Saturday night.
But on resale platforms like StubHub, some future dates in July and August have dipped to rock-bottom prices.
And to add context: on June 13, Ringo Starr’s nearly sold-out concert at the same venue had fans forking over $200–$600 per ticket.
Fans Flip Tickets and Question the Timing
Some fans have even started reselling their tickets—many of them at heavy losses.
It’s a surprising turn for the 56-year-old Wolverine star, who just earlier this year was riding a wave of positive reviews and high demand.
His show was supposed to be a feel-good celebration of his Broadway roots, complete with backup dancers, a live band, and even a few cheeky jabs at his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynolds.
In one bit, Jackman laments not being part of the film’s opening dance number—then launches into a crowd-pleasing parody of it set to NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye.”
A Busy Stage Life, On and Off Broadway
Even in between his big Radio City shows, Jackman has kept busy.
He’s been starring in the off-Broadway drama Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, where he shares the stage with 25-year-old Ella Beatty, daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.
The show’s intimate vibe—and steamy onstage kisses—have turned it into a hot ticket of its own.
With only a few dates left until its June 18 close, some final performances are already sold out. Tickets have been going for as much as $400.
Divorce Drama Quietly Unfolds in the Background
Behind all the stage lights and performances, Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s divorce has been playing out with relatively little drama—at least publicly.
She filed in New York last month after the couple quietly reached a settlement behind the scenes.
The couple, who share two adopted children—Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19—had been married for 27 years.
An insider told DailyMail.com that Deborra-Lee received a “handsome” spousal support deal she was satisfied with, following some negotiations.
They’re also reportedly splitting their $24 million Manhattan penthouse equally.
Deborra-Lee Furness Breaks Her Silence
Not long after the news of the divorce filing surfaced, Deborra-Lee offered her perspective in a heartfelt statement.
She referred to the end of her marriage as a “traumatic journey” and opened up about the emotional toll.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said.
“Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.”
She ended her message with a philosophical take: “None of this is personal… We are drawn to people… to heal the broken parts of ourselves. I remain grateful.”
What’s Next for Hugh Jackman?
Despite the dip in ticket sales and the emotional weight of his personal life, Hugh seems determined to push forward.
He hasn’t publicly commented on the slower sales or the end of his marriage, but those close to him say he’s still putting his all into every performance.
Whether this chapter is just a quiet pause or the start of a new era for Jackman, one thing is clear—he’s staying in the spotlight, for better or worse.
