Actor Nicole Kidman left the Broadway audience in the UK surprised and delighted with her presence during Hugh Jackman’s musical, The Music Man. During the show, Jackman auctioned his hat for the charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.
It was Kidman who put in the winning bid of $100,000 for the signed hat. Her charitable act prompted loud cheers and applause from the audience. A video showing her emerging from the crowd, hugging Jackman and addressing the audience has taken the internet by storm.
