Hollywood superstar Hugh Jackman 's Broadway show has taken a hit at the box office.
The 56-year-old song and dance man tickets for his one-man show are going for bargain basement prices.
Fans can score cheap seats for Hugh's From New York with Love at Radio City Music Hall on Friday for $98.
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.
By comparison, veteran American singer Paul Simon, 83, is asking a whopping $680 from fans for a show at the nearby Beacon Theatre.

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.'

The Librarians: The Next Chapter – Season 1 Episode 5 Recap & Review
And the Memory Crystal Episode 5 of The Librarians: Next Chapter begins with Vikram and Lysa discussing science and the marvels of what its done for our world. Lysa also brings up an astrophysicist called Roslyn Kirch, and suggests they go and check out her work. Her papers on superclusters of stats (called Quasars) is well-known and she's a big name in the community. The pair show up to see Rosyln during her big speech… but there's a problem. She winds up having a neurocognitive issue and has to be taken off stage. While Lysa believes this is simple medical science, Vikram is convinced it's a spell. The 3D map whirs and comes to life back at the Annex when they look into this, with the pendulum pin-pointing the College of Science Observatory as the area most likely responsible. Eventually Lysa concedes, thanks to her AI software, and believes it could well have been magic. This memory loss appears to be spreading around campus, as during Vikram's rant about smartphones making us more stupid, students and the faculty are also experience memory loss too. The group split up, with Connor and Lysa go hunting for the magical artifact, with Lysa distracting the teaching assistant while Connor sneaks into the library and grabs some important documents called the Culpepper papers. Culpepper was a 17th Century collector and at one point was in possession of the Crystal of Doctor John Dee. This is a magical artifact that could well be their memory loss trinket. Unfortunately, these papers are written in Enochian, which is a language only a few people on Earth know how to translate. Thankfully, we have Vikram. Now, the crystal is harmless in necklace form but once its taken out, it has the power to offer a single desired glimpse in the future. The cost, however, is a memory from the past. The necklace was initially in the London Museum but its recently been stolen, so it must be somewhere inside this College. Unfortunately, Charlie begins to lose her memories while stopping the teaching assistant from crashing his car (which he's forgotten how to drive), and it makes their job that much harder. With Charlie cautious around Vikram and his involvement with the library, given her memories are gone, Lysa and Connor break into the vault downstairs. Whilst there, they realize that Doctor Stonaris is our culprit, and he's using the telescope with the crystal to consume people's memories. The more people who look through it, the more powerful it becomes. Dr Stonaris locks the group in the vault though and decides he's going to go down as one of the best brilliant minds ever. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize the danger he's put them all in. The crystal is becoming overcharged, and in doing so, the ripple effects in our reality will be so profound that it won't just cause memories to erase, but the entire timeline as we know it. With Stonaris pressing ahead with his plan involving the telescope, Vikram decides to sacrifice himself to try and stop him. He steps into the spectral bubble, using his trained brain to stave off the effects of memory loss to stop Stonaris before it's too late. Unfortunately, Stonaris disrupts Vikram's concentration by bringing up Anya, whose memory causes him to lose concentration. Vikram uses the necklace shielding Stonaris from the memory loss, ripping it from round his neck and throws it up to Connor, who's in the process of stopping the telescope. The group are successful and manage to stop Stonaris. Thankfully, Charlie hasn't faded out of existence either. With the world saved, the good doctor is thrown into psychiatric care and our team prepare for their next case! The Episode Review This episode sees a simple but effective mission diving into the world of memory loss and how important our memories actually are to our wellbeing. However, it does come with some silly scenes too, like Charlie somehow managing to ride a bicycle as fast as a car? I understand the car is still spinning in circles but it's pretty amusing that she was able to do this. We do get a little rant here about smartphones and how they're counter-productive to our memory, while the main plot has a decent conclusion. The doctor wanted to be famous and I guess now he's become infamous in a way, thrown into lock-up to make sure he doesn't hurt anybody else. The team do have a nice chemistry now, although it would be good to see them branch out a bit and be tested beyond their capabilities. The earlier arguments between Lysa and Connor seem to have disappeared now too, which is disappointing as it cuts out some of the initial friction within the team. All in all, this is a decent if unremarkable episode. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

Britney Spears dances erratically in a skimpy thong bikini before slipping into her iconic schoolgirl outfit for latest kooky social media post
Britney Spears posted another erratic dancing video to Instagram on Sunday as she strutted her stuff on a sun-soaked yacht. The songstress, 43, flaunted her figure in a skimpy green and yellow thong bikini which she teamed with a wide brimmed while twirling wildly. Britney's tiny two piece left little to the imagination and she later moved out onto the deck to perform a string of saucier moves. The Hitmaker then slipped into her iconic schoolgirl outfit made famous in the video for debut 1998 single Hit Me Baby One More Time. Britney teamed the tiny plaid skirt with a daringly cropped white shirt and red bikini top as she continued to dance for the camera, she optioned not to caption the kooky clip and turned off the comments. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after the pop icon continued to bond with her youngest son Jayden James Federline, following a two-year estrangement, on Father's Day in a snap where his 6ft3in frame towered over her 5ft4in frame. Britney was so thrilled to finally reconnect with the 18-year-old high school grad, she bought him a brand new Mercedes AMG SL 63 roadster valued at $187K. 'He is [6ft3in] and his hands are so big now!' Britney - who boasts 148.4M social media followers - gushed on June 8. 'How long am I going to be in shock? It's so incredibly crazy, it's not even funny! I'm blessed! Just please be careful with my heart too!' Worryingly, Jayden never let go of his iPhone while driving the silver sportscar and glanced down at the screen at least twice during her video despite California 's hands-free driving laws. Federline is said to be pursuing a career in music production, and her team is concerned he may be taking advantage of Spears and her industry connections. 'Everybody is wary that he is using her for financial gains and for his career,' a source exclusively told the Daily Mail last Wednesday. 'The fear is this could hurt her and be the last straw for her.' The songstress flaunted her figure in a skimpy green and yellow thong bikini which she teamed with a wide brimmed while twirling wildly Britney's tiny two piece left little to the imagination and she later moved out onto the deck to perform a string of saucier moves Coincidentally, Jayden got back in touch with the semi-retired pop star last November - the same month she made her final $20K child support payment to second ex-husband Kevin Federline. Meanwhile, Britney and the 47-year-old former back-up dancer's 19-year-old son Sean Preston Federline remains 'guarded' after her 'favorite' son Jayden confessed to the Daily Mail in 2022 that she 'struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love.' 'We've both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we've been through to heal, heal our mental state,' Federline explained. Spears - whose 13-year conservatorship finally ended in 2021 - divorced Kevin in 2007 after only two years of wedded bliss, and he amassed $5M in support payments during the 17 years he had primary custody of their children. In 2022, Federline posted surreptitiously-filmed footage of the Balenciaga collaborator scolding their kids at age 11 and 12 without her consent, and he later admitted it's 'tough' for teenagers to see her posting nearly nude dance videos on Instagram. Britney will soon release her first-ever jewelry brand, B. Tiny, featuring 'delicate, extremely different, and one-of-a-kind pieces.' Spears is also said to be very hands on with her fully-authorized biopic for Universal Pictures, which is still in the developmental stage. On March 23, director Jon M. Chu shut down speculation over whether Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Millie Bobby Brown, Emma Roberts, Sydney Sweeney, Addison Rae, Florence Pugh, Tate McRae, or Olivia Holt were in contention to play the Hold Me Closer hitmaker. 'None of this is true,' the 45-year-old Wicked filmmaker tweeted. 'Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.' On August 1, Universal ' paid in the low eight figures' for the rights to Britney's NY Times-bestselling 2023 memoir The Woman In Me and music catalogue in the movie from producer Marc Platt. Simon & Schuster originally paid Spears a $12.5M advance (25% of the net profits) to pen the critically-acclaimed tell-all with three alleged ghostwriters - Ada Calhoun, Sam Lansky, and Luke Dempsey.
