Hugh Jackman Supports Sutton Foster at Once Upon a Mattress Performance

Hugh Jackman traded claws for applause as he supported Sutton Foster at her latest show.

The actor, most recently seen onscreen as Logan in Deadpool & Wolverine, watched his former Music Man costar perform in the musical comedy play Once Upon a Mattress at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre Jan. 4, Deux Moi reported.

In a photo, Jackman is seen sitting next to Carol Burnett, who played Foster’s role of Princess Winnifred role in the original 1959 production on Broadway. During the Jan. 4 show, the second-to-last of the touring revival’s Los Angeles residency, the audience applauded for the 91-year-old during the intermission, a witness told the outlet.

Like Burnett, Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, are both seasoned stage performers. The two have known each other for more than 20 years and have long supported each other’s careers. In late 2021, they became coworkers, starring together in a Broadway revival of The Music Man that ran for about a year until January 2023.
