Hugh Jackman and King Princess Perform ‘I Got You Babe’ at Radio City
King Princess and Hugh Jackman Hit the Stage in New Film Buzz
In an exciting crossover of film and music, Hugh Jackman has officially stepped into a new role: the father of indie pop sensation King Princess. The duo ignited the stage at Radio City Music Hall this past weekend, showcasing a charming father-daughter dynamic during their performance of the iconic Sonny and Cher classic, "I Got You Babe."
Clad in cheerful exuberance, Jackman kicked off the song before handing off to King Princess, who skillfully strummed her guitar. The pair’s chemistry was palpable—Jackman dancing with a flair reminiscent of Cher herself, occasionally encouraging his on-stage daughter with enthusiastic shouts of “C’mon, KP!” A video shared by King Princess captured the magic, as she captioned the post with “radio city baby.”
This spirited performance serves as a delightful teaser for Jackman’s upcoming film, Song Sung Blue, directed by Craig Brewer. Set to release this December, the biopic focuses on a Neil Diamond tribute act, where Jackman plays the lead role. King Princess will portray his daughter, joining a remarkable ensemble cast that includes Kate Hudson, Michael Imperioli, and Fisher Stevens. Hudson, caught up in the excitement, commented on King Princess’ post with heartfelt emojis, "I can’t take this! ❤️❤️"
The energy doesn’t stop there—Hudson herself took to Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a behind-the-scenes snapshot with Jackman from the film’s set, playfully labeling him as “the most lovely work husband you could ask for.” She teased more “love notes for everyone involved” in her post, building anticipation with the revelation of the film’s release date.
“I am in this movie!!” King Princess excitedly echoed in her re-shared Instagram post, further fueling the buzz around the film and her burgeoning acting career.
For now, Jackman is busy with his From New York with Love residency at Radio City Music Hall, where he plans to perform a series of shows throughout the year, with dates extending into October. The resonance of these performances, coupled with his upcoming film role alongside King Princess, suggests that audiences are in for a treat, both in theaters and on stage. Stay tuned as this duo continues to capture hearts, blending their talents in music and cinema to deliver unforgettable moments.
