Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s palpable chemistry is on full display in a recently resurfaced clip of the pair on stage in The Music Man, back in 2022
While a certain amount of chemistry is required to pull off the on-stage relationship, it appears the co-stars went above and beyond in the resurfaced clip.
The video shows the future couple in a tense exchange on stage that is punctuated by Foster briskly shoving Jackman in frustration.
However, in a ‘fourth wall’ breaking moment, Jackman goes off script and playfully begins to sashay toward his co-star while beginning to remove his jacket.
The display caused Foster to break character too, laughing along with the audience at Hugh’s flirtatious advance
The caption on the video read: ‘If you’re surprised by Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, let me remind you this is how freaked out they were during Music Man in 2022.’
While the audience appeared to be enjoying the playful exchange, it was a sentiment not shared by many in the comments.
Fans were quick to slam the pair for ‘ruining’ the scene with the cheeky improvisation.
‘I saw this production,’ one commented. ‘Their consistent breaking of the fourth wall and mugging to the audience really ruined a wonderful musical. I was very disappointed.’

Another chimed in with a similar: ‘I saw it too and felt the same way. It was awful how many times they broke the fourth wall. It turned slapstick.’
Others claimed the exchange was not as spontaneous as the actors might have you believe.
‘They did this little “fake break” every night,’ one theatre fan suggested, while another offered: ‘The fact that this “break” was written into the production is so embarrassing.’
One fan however, was quick to come to the co-stars’ defence with: ‘No one in these comments knows how to have fun.
‘I saw this production twice and thought they were funny and charming and it’s the only time I’ve ever like Marion.’
Jackman and Foster went public with their relationship in January this year after splitting from their respective partners.
The Wolverine star split with his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023, while Foster filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October 2024.
The resurfaced clip comes after Furness opened up about her feelings of ‘betrayal’ in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail.
‘I saw this production,’ one theatregoer commented. ‘Their consistent breaking of the fourth wall and mugging to the audience really ruined a wonderful musical. I was very disappointed’
It comes after Hugh’s ex wife Deborra-Lee Furness (pictured) opened up about her feelings of ‘betrayal’ in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail last month
Their split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her ‘traumatic journey of betrayal’ in the wake of her divorce filing last month.
‘My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,’ she said.
‘It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.’
She continued: ‘This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.
‘I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.
‘It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.’
She concluded her statement with the ‘one thing’ she has learned, which is ‘that none of this is personal.’
Hugh has yet to release his own statement on the split, but a source told the Daily Mail he had been left ‘extremely disappointed’ by Deborra-Lee’s words as he believed they had an ‘understanding’ they would not publicly trash one another.
‘There was no stipulation that she could not address this but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press,’ an insider said.
‘She got around this by not naming him – instead focusing on how she felt.’
