They sang the upbeat tune Come Alive, an original song penned by award-winning songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek, with the catchy chorus: 'When the world becomes a fantasy/ And you're more than you could ever be/ 'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open.'
Jackman, a musical veteran who took home a Tony Award in 2004 for his role in The Boy From Oz, told Playbill on Saturday that he's really proud of the pop-infused performance he's delivered in this film.
'I have never loved singing more,' he told the publication, adding, 'I find it really difficult to listen to myself sing. I’ll be listening to the Broadway channel sometimes and they’ll announce me and I immediately turn it off. But with this, I can actually listen to myself.'

Jackman said that he had help from acclaimed vocal coach Liz Caplan, who he credited with 'really [making him] fall in love with singing' amid preparation for the anticipated blockbuster.
Jackman said he and Caplan worked to change his pitch to something 'a little more pop' for the movie. He said: 'I wanted to do a different style from the way I’d been singing before, the way I’d learn to sing. For me I really had to go back to the beginning.'

Jackman said that he 'came to singing late,' noting that when he took the stage to perform as Gaston in a Melbourne, Australia production of Beauty and the Beast in 1995, he was contractually-obligated to 'have a singing lesson every week,' which impacted his abilities as a vocalist.
'What happened was I was learning on the job … and I kind of developed a voice that was not fully mine,' he revealed.
Fans on the talented actor will get to see him sing plenty when The Greatest Showman hits theaters December 20.
