Greatest Showman star Hugh Jackman opened the 2019 Brit Awards last night with a stellar performance. The actor belted out The Greatest Show from the hit musical at London's O2 Arena.
The powerful song features in the opening scene of the 2017 movie.
Hugh donned a silver suit for the performance which featured acrobats and hundreds of dancers were dressed in cabaret attire.
Jack Whitehall then appeared from a crowd of dancers to kick off his hosting duties.

Trailer: The Greatest Showman
For those who haven't seen The Greatest Showman, the film "celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation".
Jackman announced his first ever world tour back in November. He will perform songs from musicals such as The Greatest Showman and Les Misérables with a live orchestra.
'Hugh Jackman - The Man. The Music. The Show' comes to 3Arena on May 30th and 31st.
Meanwhile, a sing-along screening of The Greatest Showman has been announced for 98FM's Retro Drive-In Movies.
