Hugh Jackman has long been one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars — charming audiences on screen, on stage, and even on red carpets.
But as the actor navigates a painful split from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, it seems his personal life may be casting a shadow over his professional one.
Ticket Sales Take a Dip at Radio City
Jackman is gearing up to perform his solo concert series From New York, With Love at Radio City Music Hall next week, but the buzz isn’t quite what it used to be.
Despite his enduring star power, ticket sales for his June 20 and 21 shows have been surprisingly sluggish.
While fans once paid top dollar to see him live, many orchestra section tickets are still unsold — and prices have dropped significantly.
Some of the best seats in the house are now going for as low as $62 to $86.
And on resale sites like StubHub, ticket prices for future shows in July and August have dipped all the way down to $20 for third mezzanine seats.
By contrast, Ringo Starr’s concert at the same venue is almost sold out, with orchestra tickets fetching up to $600.
Divorce Drama Unfolds Behind the Scenes
All of this is happening in the wake of Jackman’s very public breakup.
Just weeks ago, Deborra-Lee, 69, officially filed for divorce, nearly two years after the couple announced their separation.
It’s been a deeply emotional time, and while Jackman has kept a smile on his face in public, it’s clear that fans may be reacting to the shift in his personal narrative.
In fact, DailyMail.com reports that fans are even trying to offload their own tickets — a major contrast from earlier this year when Jackman’s show was completely sold out.
The Show Must Go On — But It’s a Different Vibe
The solo performance is a celebration of Jackman’s career and his deep affection for New York City.
He sings his most iconic hits from Les Misérables, The Music Man, The Greatest Showman, and more.
There’s even a humorous jab at his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynolds, where Jackman jokes about being excluded from the film’s opening dance sequence — something he cheekily calls his “one little gripe.”
To make up for it, he performs “the dance that got away” — a jump rope routine to NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” backed by his trainer Beth Lewis and a group of dancers.
Keeping Busy Off-Broadway
In addition to his concert series, Jackman is also starring in an off-Broadway play, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, alongside Ella Beatty — the 25-year-old daughter of Hollywood legends Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.
Their on-stage chemistry and steamy scenes have drawn in curious theatergoers.
That show wraps up its limited run on June 18, and tickets have been flying — with prices going up to $400, and some final dates already sold out.
A Private Settlement Behind Closed Doors
As for the divorce, it turns out Jackman and Furness had already hashed out the financial details before filing paperwork in New York.
A source shared that Deborra-Lee received what’s been described as a “handsome spousal support payment” — and that both sides came away financially secure.
The pair also agreed to split their $24 million Manhattan penthouse equally.
Property records filed earlier this month show the first public signs of that asset division.
Deborra-Lee Speaks Out About Betrayal
While Jackman remains largely silent about the breakup, Deborra-Lee has opened up.
In a statement sent to the media, she described the divorce as a “traumatic journey” and talked candidly about betrayal.
She said her belief in a higher power helped her get through the darkest days, and that returning to her own values brought her freedom.
“Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good,” she wrote. “We are all on our individual journeys.”
Life After Love — and What Comes Next
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee may have closed the chapter on their marriage, but they’ll always be connected through their two children: Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19.
As both actors begin their next chapters — Jackman on stage and Furness focusing on her own growth — fans are watching closely.
But if these recent ticket sales are any indication, the public might need some time to adjust to seeing Hugh solo, both in love and in life.
