My 5 year old son Lucas is a huge Hugh Jackman fan, especially in his role in The Greatest Showman movie. We have watched the movie a large number of times and play the soundtrack and sing our hearts out every weekend in the car. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to attend “Hugh Jackman The Show” in concert yesterday at the Prudential Center. My son of course in full out Greatest Showman costume. We had pretty good seats, nine rows back. At the end of one of the last songs my son ran up to the stage and luckily caught Hugh’s attention. And they exchanged a high five, and Hugh asked me to lift him up on stage. And sure enough the crowd went crazy and Lucas and Hugh had a small conversation. It was an unbelievable moment and a dream come true for Lucas. As a matter of fact, their picture was up on Hugh’s social media within a few minutes. This is especially relevant for WestView News, as both Lucas and Hugh are West Village residents and both live on Perry Street!! Photo and text by Peter Grech.
