When Hugh Jackman kicks off a world tour of his latest stage show in Scotland, a little-known blues singer from an isolated Indigenous community in WA will be joining him on stage.

Backed by a live orchestra, Jackman will perform songs from The Greatest Showman and Les Miserables as well as other Broadway classics.

"I'm truly humbled and honoured to stand by Olive's side and pay my respects to her and her ancestral home.The musicians' collaboration with Jackman dated back to 2011 when Mr Boon said the actor stumbled across a performance and exhibition they were staging in Los Angeles called Nomad Two Worlds with photographer Russell James.
