The 50-year-old Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning triple threat said: “I’m my happiest when I’m on stage.”
Prior to the big announcement, the Australian Girls Choir opened formalities with a rendition of Million Dreams, and joined my Jackman halfway through.
Jackman then welcomed special guest, and good friend, Keala Settle — who played The Bearded Lady in The Great Showman — treated media to a live, goosebump-inducing performance of the film’s mega hit This Is Me.
Settle will also join Jackman for the Australian leg of his World Tour.
Jackman’s “very good friend,” Andy Lee also made an appearance to host a musical theatre inspired question and answer session, where Lee sung his questions to Jackman and Settle, who sung their answers back.
Tickets go on sale on March 7.
