actor singer and producers career while the Aussie sure has some serious dance moves if he isn't belting out a tune you won't find it on this list number 10 I won't dance medley 59th Tony Awards to start this list off we're highlighting few Jackman's multidisciplinary skills as the host of the Tony Awards and his panache for singing and dancing through various songs about dance telling you that he can't sing or dance should be considered a crime as they seemed to come as naturally to him as breathing he also doesn't shy away from doing big physical movements and exaggerated expressions to engage with his audience [Music] although jackman is mostly known for blockbuster roles on the silver screen he also has a big spot in his heart reserved for all things theater this passion shines through his act and contributed to his multiple returns as host for the Tony Awards [Music] number nine the other side the greatest showmen trade that to the call just something colorful and if it's crazy live a little crazy you can play it sensible a king of conventional or you can risk it all now a moment of silence for all the shattered glass the no doubt littered the set out of all the moments to choose from in the greatest showmen the song the other side stands out for its heavily intricate choreography between Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron's you how you do are you can you do like me stay in the cage or you finally take the key throughout this duet the actors contended with musical cues and the myriad of props involved in order to nail the number perfectly sweetie how you spend your days whiskey misery and parties to play if I were mixed up with you I'm gonna talk to the town disgraced and disowned also in this duet that we see a season two Hugh Jackman keeping stride with Efron by doing physically demanding moves this fast-paced track posed a challenge to the actors but because of their strong theatrical backgrounds and dedication they pulled off an impressive feat [Music] [Music] number eight Gaston Beauty and the Beast [Music] way before he portrayed the Monster Hunter van helsing Hugh Jackman played the tall dark and brutish Gaston for an Australian production of Beauty and the Beast so this was you as Gaston yeah it's hard to believe that this was actually Jackman's first theatrical role considering the scope of the project critics raved about his performance stating that he quote stole the show without even trying and I'm thinking if I sing this note I'm peeing my pants if I don't sing this note I'm humiliated in front of 2,000 people me as it turns out from an early age you always fight for attention and was incredibly talented he definitely nailed the look and personality of the arrogant hunter and no doubt this experience influenced his interest in pursuing future projects in musical theater no one's next is incredibly thick as Gaston well there's no man in town number seven Wolverine the musical the Matt Edmondson show Who am I am I a superhero with some clothes or just an actor searching for repose we know you said that Logan would be the last time he played Overeem but what if they decided to make a musical for a BBC Radio 1 guest appearance he was given lyrics to perform a surprise round of karaoke where he sang about his dilemma of being known as Wolverine all to the tune of limas Rob's Who am I Hugh giddily sang the words as best he could and was unable to resist doing his signature move of drawing out his claws for added effect [Music] we're not sure what time of day this was sprung up on him but despite missing that last note we can't help but find him endearing number six oh what a beautiful morning Oklahoma [Music] before Logan there was curly you first achieved success outside Australia in 1998 as the charming lead in the Royal National Theatre production of Oklahoma in London Hugh received an Olivier Award nomination for his performance and a film version of the same production was made the following year this breakthrough remains one of Hugh's career highlights and shows his ongoing passion for theatre as kerley McLean he commends the stage with his infectious cheer and cheeky mannerisms what's especially impressive is how early in his career that Hugh showed such range as both a singer and a theatrical actor [Music] it's going number five crosswalk the musical The Late Late Show with James Corden while promoting the greatest showman Hugh Jackman zendaya and Zac Efron joined James Corden to do a medley of musical theatre show tunes from Fame Guys and Dolls and on the town this series of crosswalk musical performances is ambitious because of the large scale of performers and the number of costumes and props especially when they did the crosswalk version of the greatest showman [Music] [Applause] the cast mates were absolute pros on the crosswalk and even took cues from Corden to give certain lucky commuters of front row performance waiting at a traffic light sucks but having Hugh Jackman dance on the hood of your car not so bad number four duet with Neil Patrick Harris 65th Tony Awards yes I can no you can yes I can no you can't yes I can yes I can anything you can do you can do better well not if Neil Patrick Harris is something to say about that what starts as light ribbing on each other's accomplishments escalates into a song and dance number to see who prevails despite the fact that NPH tends to do more television while hue features heavily in movies it turns out that they both have a lot in common for example there are both Naturals when it comes to hitting those notes while also doing complex choreography [Applause] [Music] it's also nice to see two extremely talented performers have such great chemistry just don't ask us which ones are favorite [Music] number three not the boy-next-door 58th Tony Awards what's gold spotted and enter stage right on a camel over the years Hugh Jackman has had several iconic looks but this leopard print shirt and tight gold pants combo had a while hosting and performing multiple musical numbers for the Tony Awards may be daunting Jackman played it cool even one of few blunders threatened to pull him out of character [Music] go back undeterred he kept the energy going with some cheeky comments and playful interaction with celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker can we also appreciate Hughes shameless ease and gyrating his hips next to the bashful Sex and the City star [Applause] I know I know [Music] this performance of one night only comes in at a close second number two Who am I leave me zurab the string today I found this man could be my chance why should I save his hide why should I write this wrong when I have come so far and struggled for so long film adaptations of musicals either hit or miss the note especially with Broadway plays like lame is then have a large following and where expectations are high let's be honest Hugh Jackman did a solid performance of Jean Valjean in the film adaptation of this iconic musical out of all of the numbers to choose from in Leamas we just had to go with the epic solo Who am I can I condemn this man to slavery pretend I do not feel he is how can he the citizens who bears my face who goes to judgment in my place Who am I sure the confrontation is another classic hit but Jackman's shines as the conflicted Valjean in this entries pick the emotional depth he brings to the silver screen version of Valjean is palpable and we get chills when he belts out the final line [Music] ha before we unveil our number one pick here are a few honorable mentions came out of lethargy music men and it's those clarinets to the kids in the town with a big trombones and errata that drones and the big shiny gold braid on a cloak and a penguin be another watch a bit before you chain me up like a slave again listen to me there is something I must do number one from now on the greatest showman behind the scenes out of all of the moments captured this one is the ultimate and most emotional musical moment ever because it wasn't planned just before a read-through for the greatest showman Jackman had surgery on his nose and was ordered not to sing and he really did try not to when he found himself before movie execs but the last track from now on was impossible to resist [Music] Hugh's performance builds and once breathtaking but also inspiring the vocal artists in the room to sing and cheer their hearts and souls out fortunately someone recorded this near spiritual experience for the internet to see [Applause] unfortunately you had to get the 80 odd stitches that first redone he wasn't the least bit sorry do you agree with our picks check out these other great clips from MS mojo and be sure to
