The concerts see him performing tracks from his signature musical, as well as the likes of The Music Man and Les Miserables.It was the latter that was invoked by Jackman’s Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Reynolds during the opening night, when he interrupted the performance.“I was told this was going to be a comedy version of Les Mis as a one-man show,” Reynolds quipped. “We all said it was a terrible idea but he carried on.

I see he’s duped me once again!”Moving into more sentimental mode, Reynolds continued (via People): “This was the first major movie star I ever worked with, 16 or 17 years ago on X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

And I was young still, I was impressionable. I was expecting going to this movie set with this guy right here, and I didn’t know, I really didn’t know what was gonna happen. … But what I saw was just about the best thing anyone could possibly experience if you’re working your way up in the industry.”“I saw a movie star, a capital M movie star,” he continued. “He knew every single person’s name, even though he was making them up half the time.
