Hugh Jackman turned his latest New York City concert into something unforgettable. According to People, the 56-year-old actor brought out Pink and her 14-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart, to join him on stage at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday, September 20. The three performed together in front of a packed crowd as part of Jackman’s From New York, With Love series.
The first surprise came with A Million Dreams, a ballad from The Greatest Showman. The Wolverine actor sang it in the film, but this time, Willow took center stage with her own take on the song. Dressed in a flowing red gown, the teenager’s voice cut through the hall, earning cheers from fans who were not expecting her to share the spotlight.
Then the trio moved into Pink’s 2006 hit Who Knew. Jackman sang backup while mother and daughter traded verses. By the chorus, Willow’s confidence grew, and the crowd responded with loud applause.
