Hugh Jackman tour with rave reviews is coming to Manchester this month

Hugh Jackman is finally in the UK for his highly anticipated headline tour.

He brings the 'The Man. The Music. The Show' to Manchester Arena on May 24-25 for three shows.

And if the opening night in Glasgow is anything to go by it looks like concert goers in Manchester are in for a musical spectacular.

As GlasgowLive reports, fans at the show last night (May 7) took to Twitter to rave about the cast's performance.

One user said: "Wow, easily one of the most astonishing performances to ever grace the Hydro".

Another wrote: "Seeing Hugh Jackman has made my year... seeing Hugh Jackman bring out Keala Settle has made my life".

The reaction from the crowd was so good it reduced co-star Keala Settle to tears backstage, as she told a fan on Twitter who was wondering why she left the stage so quickly.

We won't spoil the whole setlist for you but audience members can definitely expect to hear songs from musicals The Greatest Showman, Les Miserables and The Boy from Oz.

Plus there's also a few surprise covers of beloved classics in there, as well as Keala Settle getting her moment to shine with global hit 'This Is Me'.

Meanwhile he was also spotted around the city centre in Glasgow taking pictures and chatting with fans, so keep an eye out around the city and you might see the star of the show.

If you want to be at The Greatest Show of the year but don't have tickets yet, you can find out how to get them below.

Limited tickets are available for all three shows at Ticketmaster here.
