In a recent post, Jackman wrote, “Before our opening tomorrow night, I want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who’s worked tirelessly on our show. Yes, the incredible cast and orchestra, band, dancers, singers and crew. But most importantly … the fans!! Without you all, none of this would be possible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
