Hugh Jackman to Perform at Philly Fights Cancer: Round 5
Tuesday, July 9, 2019
Today, Philly Fights Cancer is proud to announce that the THIRD act for Philly Fights Cancer: Round 5 will be none other than superstar Hugh Jackman!
Hugh Jackman has made an impression on audiences of all ages with his multi-hyphenate career persona, as successful on stage in front of live crowds as he is on film. From his award-winning turn on Broadway as the 1970s singer/songwriter Peter Allen, to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the blockbuster X-Men franchise, Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time. Jackman garnered his first Academy Award® nomination, for Best Actor, for his performance in Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables, based on the popular stage show created from Victor Hugo’s famous novel of the same name. Jackman’s standout performance as protagonist Jean Valjean also earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical, as well as Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award® nominations, for both Best Ensemble and Best Male Actor in a Leading Role, and a BAFTA Award nomination. Most recently, he was nominated for his role as P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman. Sales for the soundtrack to the film have broken records the world over and reached multi-platinum status in many countries including the UK and America.
On Saturday, October 26th, Hugh Jackman will join the lineup of incredible talent, which includes comedian John Mulaney and pop sensation Andy Grammer. Philly Fights Cancer: Round 5 will take place at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. For information on becoming a sponsor, see here.
