Australian actor Hugh Jackman will be in Istanbul for four shows between March 17 and 20.

A Tony-Award-winning actor, renowned for his roles in movies such as ‘”Wolverine,” “X-Men,” “Les Misérables” and “Real Steel,” Jackman will perform his show “An Evening with Hugh Jackman,” which is a concert that also contains improvisations. He will be accompanied by dancers and an orchestra of 27 pieces during the performance.

The one-man show features various segments, including tributes to classic movie musicals like “Singin’ in the Rain” and “Guys and Dolls,” as well as odes to the Aborigine culture of Jackman’s native Australia and Australian composer Peter Allen.

Jackman just finished a Broadway run in the Jez Butterworth play “The River.” Speaking to the Associated Press, he said he would hit the stage again next month. “My one-man show I did here on Broadway a few years back, I’m going to do in Turkey. I’m very excited about that,” he said, and added:

“It should be fun. We’ll see how the Turks like it.”

The show will be on stage at the Zorlu Center PSM.
