Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster raise $3 million at Ogunquit Playhouse benefit

Actor Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance with Broadway star Sutton Foster at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine on August 5, joining her for a duet of “A Million Dreams.” The performance capped a sold‑out gala that raised more than $3 million for the theater’s Next Century Campaign.

The duo, who have been dating since early 2025 after co‑starring in the revival of The Music Man, also performed together at the Sun Valley Music Festival in Ketchum, Idaho, on August 6, delivering the same duet to a festival audience. Their appearances have drawn attention both for the on‑stage collaboration and for their personal relationship, which followed Jackman's separation from Deborra‑Lee Furness in 2023 and Foster’s own divorce proceedings.

Both events highlight the couple’s continued partnership in live performance and their role in supporting regional arts fundraising.
