'Hugh Jackman Back on Broadway' ended its 10-week stint at the Broadhurst Theatre, after having earned 2,057,354 dollars in its final week.

The previous record at the theatre was held by the Al Pacino-led The Merchant of Venice, which took in 1,175,750 dollars earlier in 2011, the Herald Sun reported.
Backed by an 18-piece orchestra and six leggy dancers, Jackman belted out about two dozen musical theatre songs in his one-man show.
It was his third time on Broadway, following The Boy From Oz in 2003 and the play A Steady Rain with Daniel Craig in 2009.
