The crowd went WILD – and for good reason!

In one of the most feel-good surprise moments of the year, Kate Hudson crashed Hugh Jackman‘s live show at iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City to join him for a powerhouse performance of Neil Diamond classics straight from their hit movie Song Sung Blue!

The duo – who play real-life tribute band couple Claire and Mike Sardina (aka Lightning & Thunder) in the film – belted out crowd-pleasers like “Cherry, Cherry” and the ultimate sing-along anthem “Sweet Caroline” (complete with the famous “ba ba ba” audience participation!). The energy was electric: Hugh’s smooth charisma met Kate’s powerhouse vocals in perfect harmony, turning the venue into a massive Neil Diamond love-fest.

This wasn’t just promo – it felt like pure joy! Fans are calling it “the duet we never knew we needed,” with the pair’s chemistry on full display. (And yes, they really sing in the movie – Hugh confirmed they recorded and performed everything live, blending his Les Mis style with Kate’s killer pipes.)

The performance ties perfectly into Song Sung Blue (released Christmas 2025, now streaming/buyable), the uplifting true story of a down-on-their-luck couple who chase dreams through Neil Diamond covers. Neil Diamond himself gave the film his blessing, even joining via video at the premiere and sharing stories with the stars.

Social media is exploding:

• “Hugh and Kate just gave us the best night ever – Sweet Caroline live? Chills!”
• “Their voices together are MAGIC. Song Sung Blue is a must-watch!”
• “From Radio City to the big screen – this duo owns Neil Diamond now!”
