The title says it all - Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway.

The Tony Award-winner plans to bring his one-man show to the Broadhurst Theatre on 44th Street from October 25 to January 1.

Jackman will be accompanied by an 18-piece orchestra and will perform his favourite musical numbers. He's already fine-tuned the show in San Francisco and Toronto.

Jackman was in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! at the National Theatre in London and made his Broadway debut portraying the 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, for which he received the 2004 Tony.

The actor, who plays Wolverine in the X-Men movie franchise, was last on Broadway in 2009 with Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain.
