Hugh Jackman’s separation from Deborra-Lee Furness seems to have markedly influenced his professional life, as there is a noticeable decline in fan engagement and willingness to invest in his solo appearances at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
Just under a month ago, Deborra-Lee, aged 69, initiated divorce proceedings from her spouse of 27 years, following their unexpected announcement of separation nearly two years prior.
In the wake of this revelation, the Wolverine actor continued his daily activities, maintaining his professional commitments. Jackman was spotted in good spirits outside the venue of his off-Broadway production, ‘Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes,’ shortly after the news became public.
Jackman, who is in a relationship with Sutton Foster, returns to the Big Apple’s historic theater – where the Tony Awards just took place – next week to perform his concert series, ‘Hugh Jackman: From New York, With Love.’
However, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that the 56-year-old is having trouble selling tickets…and some fans are attempting to even get rid of their tickets, through resale websites, for as low as $20.
Jackman returns to RCMH on June 20 and June 21, for a matinee and evening performance, and according to Ticketmaster.com, there are still hundreds of seats available for purchase, with the majority of seats available located in the orchestra section where ticket prices are higher than the sections above – the first mezzanine, second mezzanine and third mezzanine.

The once sold-out show appears to be less of a must-see show after hundreds of seats are still left to be filled following Deborra-Lee Furness filing for divorce
Tickets for the orchestra section can be purchased for as little as $86 for Friday’s performance, $79 for Saturday’s matinee performance, and $62 for Saturday’s evening performance.
But, what’s an even better deal, according to StubHub, is going to a July or August performance, for which tickets are selling as low as $20 – if you’re willing to sit up high in the third mezzanine, that is.
By comparison, ‘Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band,’ performing on June 13 is nearly sold out and has tickets in the orchestra section selling for $200 to $600.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Hugh Jackman’s rep for comment.
Jackman’s ‘From New York, With Love’ concert series debuted in January 2025, months before news broke about his ex Deborra-Lee filing for divorce.
The current prices of Hugh’s show are a far cry from his performances back in April when the show was sold out, according to a DailyMail.com reporter who attended.
The solo show – apart from his band and team of backup dancers – is a celebration of Jackman’s career and his love for the city, with a mix of his greatest hits as he performs his iconic musical numbers from various Broadway shows and movies, including Les Misérables, The Music Man and The Greatest Showman.
During the show, Jackman jokingly takes swipe at his close pal and Deadpool & Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds.

The actor tells the audience, according to a video obtained by DailyMail.com, that he had the ‘time of my life’ filming the movie, but had ‘one little gripe’ — that he was left out of the Marvel film’s musical number.
Hugh notes that he and Ryan, Blake Lively’s husband, were together in every scene in the film — except at the beginning. ‘Now that’s fine, I don’t need to be in every scene in the movie.
‘But Ryan is a writer,’ the X-Men star continues. ‘And when I see the script, I see that the scene that I’m not in is the opening sequence…I’m like, the one scene I’m not in has dance. Now Ryan, he’s very talented, but dancing?’
Joined by his trainer, Beth Lewis, and his other dancers, he then proceeds to perform ‘the dance that got away’ – a choreographed jump rope routine to NSYNC’s hit and the movie’s opening number, Bye Bye Bye.
In-between his performances for Radio City Music Hall, Jackman continues to perform a two-man show with Ella Beatty, the 25-year-old daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, who plays his lover in the play.
Reviews of ‘Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes’ and talk about the actors’ steamy kisses appear to be a big draw for theater-goers. The show only has a few remaining dates left, with the limited engagement run ending on June 18.
According to Broadway.com, tickets are running for $400, with some dates – the final two performances – already selling out.
Last month, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that Jackman and Furness ironed out issues and settlement terms of their divorce behind the scenes before Deborra-Lee’s complaint filing in New York.

All that needs to be done now is for the judge to sign off on the judgment.
The couple have two adopted children together: Oscar, 24, and a daughter Ava, 19.
According to an insider who spoke to DailyMail.com, Furness received a ‘handsome spousal support payment,’ which she is ‘pleased with.’
‘There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved,’ the source added. ‘Both are coming out of this financially secure.’
While they figure out what to do with the rest of their $387 million fortune, the exes have at least decided to split their $24 million Manhattan property down the middle.
Earlier this month, on June 2, Jackman and Furness filed records with the city regarding their shares of their former love nest. This marks the first public sign of their asset division.
The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom penthouse, which the couple purchased together back in 2022 for $21.12 million, had not been listed for sale but underwent a property transfer.
Furness shocked fans by releasing a statement about ‘betrayal’ shortly after news broke about their divorce, referring to it as a ‘traumatic journey.’
Jackman and Furness announced their separation after 27 years of marriage nearly two years ago. Now, the couple is close to finalizing their divorce after ironing things out before filing
In a statement sent to DailyMail.com, Furness said, ‘My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.’
She continued, ‘This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.
‘It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.’
She concluded her statement with the ‘one thing’ that she has learned, which is ‘that none of this is personal,’ adding, ‘We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random.
‘We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful.’
