And for Saturday's matinee, tickets are going for as little as $60, with the best seats in the house available for a steal at $212.

Early reports indicated that sales were slow, with News writing on Sunday that Hugh was 'struggling' to move tickets for the show, which debuted on Broadway in January.
However, on Monday, Radio City Music Hall indicated that tickets for Hugh's three gigs this weekend are now selling fast.
Hugh, meanwhile, has scheduled his one-man show in New York for eight more concerts in July, August, September and October.
It comes after Hugh and his ex Deborra-Lee Furness put their AU$60million (US$39million) New York apartment on the market amid their messy divorce.
Realtor.com reports that the former couple are offloading the stunning five-bedroom 'triplex' apartment in the West Village that they purchased back in 2008 for AU$32million (US$21million).
The penthouse boasts an eye-watering 1000 sqm of floor space and spans the top three floors of a glass tower overlooking the Hudson River.
The three floors are connected via a spiral staircase and the luxe abode also boasts seven bathrooms.
It also features a library, private sauna and an indoor gym, while the kitchen boasts a massive island bench, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space.
Hugh, 56, and Deborra-Lee, 69, tried to offload the apartment back in 2022, but paused the sale in favour of putting it on the rental market.
The listing comes after it was recently revealed that the ex-couple had decided to split their other New York abode down the middle.
Their multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio includes properties spanning across three continents.
They own several luxury properties across the United States, England and Australia.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee, who had been married since 1996, announced their separation back in 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
At the time, they cited a desire to pursue 'individual growth'.
Though the pair have not publicly revealed the reasons behind their separation, rumours have run rampant as fans speculate that Jackman growing close to his fellow Broadway co-star Sutton Foster in The Music Man play was a factor in their split.
Last month, Deborra-Lee alluded to Hugh's alleged affair with his now-girlfriend as she broke her silence about his 'betrayal' since legally filing for divorce.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she wrote in a statement shared exclusively with DailyMail.com.
'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.'

Hollywood star looks unrecognizable as he attends Primitive War premiere
A Hollywood star stunned fans on Monday, as he made an appearance at the Primitive War premiere in Los Angeles , over a quarter of a century after making his name in hit comedy, American Pie. The actor, 45, looked worlds away from his sexually frustrated signature character as he posed on the red carpet alongside a Tyrannosaurus Rex, sporting much shaggier and longer hair and a full beard. The former child star rose to global fame after starring in the 1999 runaway hit, inspired by the raunchy sex comedies of the 1970s such as Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Porkies, and Animal House. He reprised his role in the billion dollar franchise numerous times, with his final appearance being in 2012's American Reunion. Since then, he has continued acting in various projects and pursued a music career, putting out seven studio albums. But can you guess who he is? It's Thomas Ian Nicholas! He famously played Kevin Myers in American Pie, alongside a star-studded cast including Jason Biggs, Jennifer Coolidge, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eugene Levy, Alyson Hannigan, and Seann William Scott. The comedy told the age-old story of a group of teenagers trying to lose their [expletive] before college, and Thomas said he knew the film was destined for huge success. 'It was in my contract,' he joked. 'Must do at least four films, maybe five, and it has to be a billion dollar franchise otherwise I won't consider doing the first one.' However, years later Thomas admitted that he initially threw the script in the trash, after not realizing the plot and believing that the film would be purely 'smut'. The first scene, which didn't make the final cut, initially saw Vicky - played by Tara - instructing Kevin on 'how to move his fingers'. Thomas said of the moment: 'I'll let you put the rest together with your mind. I threw the script in the trash thinking it was just [expletive]. I didn't understand it was a modern-day Porkies, and I love Porkies.' And he still almost didn't get the iconic role as it was originally offered to his high-school friend Andrew Keegan, who turned it down to star in beloved romantic comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You. Thomas said: 'They came back to me and once I read the script properly I saw all of the heart that existed in the characters. It wasn't just a teen [sexual] comedy. 'It was a real coming-of-age story that everyone could find someone to relate to, or know someone who was exactly like Stiffler.' The film spawned three well-received sequels, and Thomas recently hinted there could still be a fifth more than 20 years on as he said a follow-up has recently been discussed. Speaking at a Rhode Island Comic Con panel in November, he revealed his son Nolan River, who made his acting debut in M Night Shyamalan's 2021 thriller Old, inadvertently got the ball rolling. He explained: 'So the only truth I can share with you is because my son is following in my footsteps as an actor. He starred in the M Night Shyamalan movie Old. And that was also a Universal film. 'We were at the premiere, and the President and Chairwoman of Universal, didn't realize that he was my kid. 'They were like, "No way, oh my gosh! Hey, by the way, we're negotiating for American Pie 5". This was the summer of 2021. So, I was like, "Sweet, this is happening".' However, he went on to reveal how his excitement was dashed after getting bad news from screenwriter Adam Herz. He said: ' I texted Adam Herz six months later. I was like, "Hey buddy, how's the script coming?" He's like, "Oh, we didn't come to terms on negotiation." So that's the last that I heard.' However, Thomas said he was still remaining positive, adding: 'I guess the silver lining her is that Universal is circling around the idea. It's a billion dollar franchise, why wouldn't they revisit it, right?' He went on to say he hoped the recently-released sequel to Adam Sandler's 1996 hit Happy Gilmore would help negotiations for a fifth American Pie. He said: 'If the tonality of Happy Gilmore 2 is accepted and successful, then we'll be coming back into an era of broad comedy, which we haven't had for a while. I think people are ready for some levity.' While he acknowledged that several controversial scenes from the original film wouldn't be accepted in today's landscape, following the landmark Me Too movement. But Thomas said: 'I think it would be really interesting to see this world, [the world of American Pie] in this world. 'How do you make it work now? You cannot make that movie now for so many reasons.' He previously reflected one of the movie's most famous scenes, when Shannon Elizabeth's foreign exchange student character changes clothes, and some of the boys secretly watch via webcam. Thomas said that the scene paid homage to a similar one in the 1981 film Porky's involving a girls' locker room, though he admits it wouldn't make it into a movie today. He said: 'They would just probably do it in a different way today. But at the same time, there is a bit of, what are we calling it now? I don't want to pigeonhole a term, but there are a lot of things that are being cancelled now. So, it's definitely not the right time to push the envelope on a teen [sexual] comedy.' Though he may be best known for his role in American Pie Thomas' career started much earlier with TV spots in the early '80s and starring movie roles in the early to mid-90s. He got his start in Hollywood thanks to a familial connection, as his mother was a casting director who found background actors for low-budget films and gave him his first role as an altar boy. But it wasn't until 1988, when he was eight years old, that he scored his first credited role playing 'Little Tony' Danza in a Who's The Boss? flashback. Thomas went on a lot of auditions during his childhood, though unlike some other child stars, he insists that his mother wasn't pressuring him to stay in the business, and would check in regularly to make sure he still wanted to do it. In 1989, he scored another TV role, this time as Ricky Blount on an episode of Baywatch, followed by a two-episode arch on Married... With Children. He had several more small roles before his big break with 1993's Rookie of the Year, in which he played Henry Rowengartner, a boy who can suddenly pitch on a pro-level and joins the Chicago Cubs. Speaking to Vice in March 2021, he shared some of his memories on set with his very famous co-stars, revealing he had his first beer ever at age 14 with Kate Winslet . Thomas has continued acting, most recently starring in 2020's Adverse alongside Mickey Rourke, Lou Diamond Phillips and Sean Astin and mockumentary, Underdeveloped in 2023. He is next set to star in upcoming dramedy crime series, A Motel, following a group of outcasts working at a seedy motel who find themselves in danger when they accidentally uncover a [expletive] smuggling plot for the mafia. He also fronts the Thomas Nicholas band, which is currently on tour, playing dates across the US and UK. Thomas was previously married to Colette Marino, also known as DJ Colette, for 14 years, before they divorced in 2022. They share two children together, nine-year-old daughter Zoë Dylan and son Nolan River, 13, who has followed in his father's footsteps in pursuing an acting career, with roles on New Girl and M. Night Shyamalan's Old.

Chris Pratt is eviscerated on social media after vocalizing support for RFK Jr: 'What a tone deaf a**hole'
has once again found himself in the middle of a political firestorm and, this time, the internet did not hold back. The Guardians of the Galaxy star sparked outrage after publicly defending his extended family member, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., during a recent appearance on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. While Pratt framed his remarks as an appeal for bipartisanship and reason, critics online quickly accused him of excusing policies that harm vulnerable communities. On X (formerly Twitter), the reaction was swift and scathing. One user fumed: 'What a tone deaf a**hole. There's nothing funny and wonderful about cutting cancer research and funding, while firing teams of experts so rich people can get richer and sick people can die.' The criticism trended throughout the day, with more and more piling on to drag the father-of-four of legitimizing Kennedy's controversial stances. Some users connected the comments directly to real-world consequences, citing grant cuts that disrupted medical research, while others argued Pratt's statements reflect a long-running pattern of political missteps. Despite Pratt's insistence that his comments were meant to highlight shared goals, such as reducing toxins in food, many online saw his defense of RFK Jr. as reckless at best, harmful at worst. 'Policy changes rarely ever consider the actual people they hit,' one critic wrote, pointing to the way NIH funding cuts had already derailed graduate students' research. Another user summed up the mood more bluntly: 'Stop being mean to Chris Pratt you don't know his politics.' The A-list actor, who has often sought unity in divided political times, is married to actress Katherine Schwarzenegger, a cousin by marriage to Kennedy. In an appearance on Club Random, Pratt told Bill Maher - who counts Kennedy as a friend and has had him on both his talk show and his podcast - that there are parts of the 'MAHA' agenda he loves and that he wishes him well in his efforts. 'I hope there are certain things that he oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way, like getting terrible, toxic stuff out of our kids' food. I think that's a great thing. And so, like, just - if you just do that, that's amazing.' He adds that when spending time with Kennedy he's willing to listen and hear him out but while he doesn't always assume everything RFK Jr. is saying is true, he refuses to hate the HHS Secretary. 'I'd hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I'd have an allergic reaction to. To be like, 'Oh, well, if they do it, I don't want it to happen. I'll put Clorox in my children's cereal myself.' While Pratt framed his remarks as an appeal for bipartisanship and reason, critics online quickly accused him of excusing policies that harm vulnerable communities 'You know, it's like, come on, be reasonable here. There's certain things that would be a good thing to have. I want them all to be successful,' Pratt said. Maher agreed that Kennedy was a great guy, saying he loves him but has some advice for his work in Washington. 'I love him. I don't agree with everything, but I agree with, like, the overall view that what makes us sick is the toxicity,' Maher said. \'When he was here, I said my advice to you is like you need to marry your former life more with what you're doing now. Your former life, you were very admired as an environmental lawyer.' Despite the outsized caricature of Kennedy as a conspiracy theorist, Maher flatly denies he's out of the ordinary. 'And he's not crazy. I mean the people trying to – he's also got, like I said to him when he was here, 'I don't agree with everything you said, and I don't think your father would either, but your father would be so proud that you stuck to your guns like more than anybody,' he told the actor. 'I mean this guy, when this guy believes something you cannot move him off of it with your bribes. That's for better and worse,' Maher added. This isn't the first time Pratt has been accused of straddling the political divide in ways that frustrate both fans and critics. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, which saw Donald Trump defeat Democrat Kamala Harris and reclaim the White House, Pratt penned an essay in his mother-in-law Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper. In it, he urged Americans to remain proud of their country regardless of the election's outcome. 'It's ok to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror,' he wrote. 'But if we become too paralyzed by defeat or too pompous in victory, allegiance to our 'team' can blind us to the fact that we are fellow countrymen.' The comments were widely slammed as vapid and noncommittal, especially as they came just days after his father-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger had forcefully endorsed Harris, warning that another Trump term would mean 'four more years of bulls**t with no results.' Pratt's attempts to present himself as above the political fray have often backfired. In 2019, he was called out by Elliot Page for attending a church with alleged anti-LGBTQ ties. Ahead of the 2020 election, he was branded 'Hollywood's Worst Chris' online for his suspected right-leaning views, sparking a wave of backlash that forced Marvel costars like Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo to come to his defense. He also came under fire in 2021 for a social media post celebrating the birth of his 'healthy' daughter with Schwarzenegger, which many took as a slight toward his son Jack, who was born prematurely with health complications.
