The biggest showman continues to exceed all odds and expectations. Since its theatrical release last December, the musical film – despite largely lukewarm responses from critics – has broken a litany of box office records and music records; his success has been so ridiculous that lead actor Hugh Jackman is now embarking on a major world tour.

Jackman announced the arena tour (titled, in a style worthy of The biggest showmanFlamboyance, The man. The music. The Show "), Thursday, with the award-winning actor at the Tony Award performing hit songs from The biggest showman, Wretched and other Broadway songs and movies accompanied by an orchestra.
