This series, titled “From New York With Love,” will kick off at the famed venue on the weekend of Jan. 24, 2025, and will continue through select weekends in April, May, June, and July with the final shows on Aug. 15 and 16.

Jackman announced the residency on social media, sharing a video with his “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-star Ryan Reynolds. The Marvel movie opened in July and has grossed $1.3 billion globally, standing as the highest grossing R-rated movie in history as well as the second biggest movie of the year.

“It was the time of my life. Ryan and I had such a great adventure together,” Jackman says of his return as Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine. “And I’ve been wondering what comes next…” As his Spandex-wearing counterpart emerges in the background, Jackman asks: “Hey Ryan, do you want to come to one of my live performances at Radio City Music Hall?”

Off camera, Reynolds responds, “Wait, you’re going to be like singing and dancing and joking live? Am I going to be in it? I’ll break out the eyeliner!”

“Absolutely!” Jackman retorts while shaking his head “no” and whispering to the camera: “This is my time.”
