Jackman announced the show at a press conference at AUT's South Campus, where he was joined by the university's choir for a rendition of Million Dreams - honouring the viral cover that four hundred school leavers performed of This Is Me at the campus last year.

Jackman said he'd seen the performance, and described it as a "bullet to my heart".
