Hugh Jackman gears up for exciting change in routine amid Sutton Foster romance

It is a special — and busy — time in Hugh Jackman’s life.

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor is currently gearing up for the debut of a special project, a slew of performances at Radio City Music Hall kicking off next week.

The exciting gig comes amid his budding romance with former co-star Sutton Foster, who has been by his side in New York City as he prepares to take the stage.

Over the weekend, with less than a week away from opening night, Hugh took to Instagram and shared a photo from rehearsals.

In the pic, he’s seen wearing a black t-shirt and joggers, mimicking singing into the microphone alongside two back-up dancers and singers.

“One week til opening!” he wrote in his caption, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and express their excitement.

During that time, Sutton opened up to Vogue about what it was like to work with Hugh, sharing: “He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true.”

She further gushed: “He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him. And he’s now become one of my best friends,” noting it “was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along,'” and that they had recently spent Memorial Day together with their families.
