Hollywood and theatre star Hugh Jackman has cancelled his forthcoming concert at BST Hyde Park this summer 2025.

The 6th July concert was to have been an “unforgettable evening of musical theatre”.

In a statement, Jackman said that, “Due to an unforeseen conflict in my schedule, I am deeply disappointed to announce I will be unable to perform in Hyde Park this July 6th. This was a stage I truly was looking forward to being on. No less in a city that I love so much. Thank you to all people who’ve purchased tickets. For ticket refunds, please go to the link in my bio for more information. London, I will see you soon!”

The Tony-winning, Oscar-nominated Australian actor was due to perform a selection of musical theatre numbers alongside a live orchestra in the From London With Love concert, featuring songs from productions that have defined his career, including The Boy From Oz, The Greatest Showman, Les Misérables, and The Music Man. Fans can also anticipate a few surprises—and perhaps even surprise guests. Could Sutton Foster make an appearance?

Though Jackman is best known as a film star, he has consistently returned to musical theatre throughout his career, performing in productions like Beauty and the Beast, Oklahoma!, The Boy from Oz, and, most recently, The Music Man on Broadway. He also starred in the film adaptation of Les Misérables and is confirmed to star alongside Kate Hudson in the upcoming Neil Diamond movie musical Song Sung Blue.

The UK concert was to be part of Jackman’s broader return to live shows. He is currently playing a series of US concerts in 2025 under the title Hugh Jackman Live: From New York With Love, at Radio City Music Hall.

Fans of The Greatest Showman can now experience Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular, London’s latest show inspired by the film and featuring its iconic music. Meanwhile, a new stage adaptation of The Greatest Showman is currently in development by Disney and is rumoured to open in London’s West End in 2026/2027, potentially following Hercules at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

Ticket holders to the 6 July concert will be contacted by their point of purchase.
