It's been six months since Hugh Jackman first announced he would visit the Manchester Arena on his world tour - and the big weekend is finally almost upon us.
The star of The Greatest Showman, as well as the big screen adaptation of Les Misérables, will bring his 'The Man. The Music. The Show.' tour right here in Manchester on Friday May 24.
The Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning performer will also perform a matinee show and an evening show on Saturday May 25.
For all three concerts, he will be joined by Greatest Showman co-star Keala Settle - who delivered the powerful vocals for This Is Me - as well as a live orchestra.
Aussie Jackman is currently touring around Europe and sharing behind-the-scenes snippets of rehearsals and life on the road on his Instagram .
He will revive his Broadway stage version of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, and treat audiences to a live take on his role as Jean Valjean in Les Mis.
As well as his musical roles, Jackman is famed for his work as Wolverine in the X-Men franchise and has established himself as one of the most versatile actors working today.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of his Manchester shows.
Tickets
The number of tickets left over for all three shows is fairly similar - very limited seats are left in the blocks to the side of (or slightly behind) the main stage, most with restricted views.
The stage for The Man. The Music. The Show. will include a second, smaller stage with a walkway to it, so now matter where your seats are you should be able to see at least some of the action.
The majority of leftover tickets are priced at £57.55 each on Ticketmaster, though there are a handful of seats with better views priced all the way up to £382.43.
To see what's still available, visit Ticketmaster .
Stage times
Official door times will be confirmed nearer the time by Manchester Arena, though doors are listed as opening at 7pm on the Ticketmaster website.
When Jackman played in Glasgow earlier this month, the doors to the SSE Hydro opened at 6pm, with a local DJ entertaining the crowds from 6.30pm before the main man hit the stage at 7.15pm.
