Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster gave fans a sweet surprise when they shared the stage for an impromptu duet during one of Foster’s recent performances.
A video circulating on social media captured Jackman, 57, joining Foster, 51, onstage at the where the two shared an adorable PDA moment.
Foster looked glamorous in a yellow sequin gown, while Jackman wore a classic blue suit.
The pair shared a kiss before discussing what they would perform together. Jackman noted that it had been eight years since they last sang the song together.
The Two Sang a Dreamy Duet
The longtime friends then launched into “A Million Dreams,” the song from Jackman’s 2017 musical “The Greatest Showman.” In the film, Jackman performs the number with Michelle Williams.
Foster began the duet by singing directly to Jackman, delivering the opening lyrics while the two maintained eye contact.
Jackman then took over part of the song, singing to the audience before turning his attention back toward Foster.
Their performance ended with the pair holding hands and sharing another kiss, prompting plenty of excitement from fans watching the video online.
Fans Loved the Video
“They are singing to each other, and telling us how the lyrics ring so true to their lives right now! So special! Their love for each other radiates, and they are comfortable to share with us! Thank you for such a beautiful capture of their duet. I love that Hugh reassures Sutton too,” one fan wrote.
Others focused on Foster’s vocals.
“Her voice is like a little girl’s and reminds me of Disney movies,” another commenter wrote.
“Lovely,” one fan added.
Another person commented, “Oh the way they look at each other res ❤️ just gorgeous.”
“Beautiful to see the love,” another fan wrote.
The performance offered another glimpse at the relationship between Jackman and Foster, whose friendship developed while they worked together on Broadway.
The Two Were on Broadway Together
The pair starred opposite each other in the Broadway revival of “The Music Man,” which ran from 2021 to 2023. Although they were longtime friends, their relationship later became romantic.
Foster previously spoke warmly about Jackman during their time working together. In a June 2022 interview with Vogue, she praised his personality and work ethic while describing how their professional relationship had grown into a close friendship.
“He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind and generous — and all of that is true. He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him,” Foster said.
She added, “And he’s now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along.’ But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It’s really fun to meet new friends after 40.”
Jackman’s relationship with Foster became public after he announced in September 2023 that he and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, had separated following 27 years of marriage.
Since then, Jackman and Foster have continued to attract attention with their appearances together.
Their latest musical moment gave fans something else to enjoy: the Broadway stars sharing a song that already carries a special connection to Jackman, while adding their own affectionate moments to the performance.
