Hugh Jackman is going to take a break from promoting The Wolverine to perform his one-man Broadway show in Los Angeles, with proceeds going to a good cause.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the Oscar-nominated Les Miserables actor will perform One Night Only at the Dolby Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 12. Proceeds for the show will go to the Motion Picture & Television Fund, which raises money for healthcare and other costs for retirees of the entertainment industry.
“Films, television and theater have brought me great success throughout my career, and it is one of my greatest pleasures to give back by putting on a show as a benefit to support MPTF,” Jackman stated.
TheWrap reports that 20th Century Fox CEO Jim Gianopulos and his wife, Ann, are co-chairing the event.
While this is the first time Jackman will perform One Night Only in Southern California, it isn’t the first time he’s done a benefit for the MPTF. In 2007, he hosted the A Fine Romance event.
The Wolverine hits theaters on Friday.
