Ladies & Gents… this is the moment you’ve waited for…
Its here at last. Tonight i am going to be in the same room as Hugh Jackman ( & 4 friends & another 20000 people but nah when he comes on the stage nothing else is going to matter at all) & i am soooooooooooooooo excited for this. Seriously this is a once in a life time event that i couldnt miss. These kinda shows dont come around every day, & being at night 2 of his week long residency at the O2 is all i could ever need. This is going to be epic.
Oh & boy did the man nail it in every single respect. It was stunning & so magical & just everything i wanted & so much more. I had goosebumps at one point. I even shed a tear twice, which we will get to later on, but it just gave me every single emotion possible & that is what a one off show like that should do.
Lets criticise first then ill keep up the praise… he didnt bring him home. I was so wanting to blub throughout that i really was, that always makes me cry, but no it wasnt apart of his les mis set. & thats my only complaint about the show… Also merch was a fucking fortune so we didnt get anything.
His voice was stunning, considering thats not the main part of who he is, its what he also does, its mesmerising. It was so powerful & was so clear. It was special. His orchestra were off the scale as well, along with his other singers & dancers & guests throughout. It just felt like a family on stage, who just happened to be good enough to sell out the o2 each night.
I didnt tell my friend we were getting Keala Settle singing this is me so when she walked out the 4 of them went absolutely nuts about it. Like one of them i’ve never seen so animated in all my life. & once everyone had gone mad, the entire arena shut up to hear her sing this is me. & thats when i cried & Amy garbed my hand. It was so beautiful & inspiring & passionate & everytime i now hear that song i will remember it that way.
Similar goes for a million dreams which was the other bit that made me cry. It was signed as well & they signed it back to them as well to tell the story. That was immensely powerful & i just couldnt hold the tears in.
Huge shout out to Dave who had to get on the stage & take part in a push up competition that was cool & fun. I’m glad he went for a walk in the crowd & properly took the piss out of us for how we responded to certain stuff, in a like oh check you out way.
Wolverine bit hehehehehehehhe
I was full on in love with him when he did his tap dancing i was just oh my god. My eyes didnt leave his feet at all. Also when he twerked as Peter Allen, my eyes didnt leave him bum. Oh its very nice. We all agreed that even though hes 50 we all still would if he asked us (including the lesbian in our group she was up for it too).
His storys as to why he performed or sung certain bits of the show were good too. I like the fact we were fully involved in his journey too.
The native Australian story & song was very moving & heart warming & they were fabulous too. He looked as inspired by them than we do when we look at Hugh.
I’m going to leave this here now & stop typing dont want to ruin it any more for anyone else who still get to see him this summer. No two shows are the same so enjoy it people & get your tickets while you can or you will regret it.
Basically i had the best night out ever with one of the men of my dreams to entertain me, with 4 of my closest friend. What more could i want in this world.
Hugh I know you wont ever read this but thank you so much for making my dreams come true, never ever change sir.
