Jackman announced Broadway To Oz today on his social media accounts, adding the hashtag #DreamComeTrue. Indeed, when he announced the show in Sydney, he called this a “true bucket list moment” and an idea he’s had for a decade.

“It’s pretty much all about me, it’s everything I love,” Jackman explained, reports The Guardian. “You’re going to get to know the real me in that show.”

The show will be inspired by his successful 2011 Broadway show, Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway. He will be joined by 150 musicians, including a 35-piece orchestra during the show, which will include songs and him telling his life story. There could even be a nod to his famous role as Wolverine in the X-Men movies.

“Being Australian is a very important part of who I am and from the moment I was doing the show, whether it was on Broadway, the endgame was being here,” Jackman said during his press conference.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale on Aug. 31. Tour stops include Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. The first stop is Melbourne on Nov. 24.

Jackman was nominated for an Oscar for 2012’s Les Miserables and will next be seen in Warner Bros.’ Pan on Oct. 9.
