Sun Jan 05 18:20:00 IST 2025: ## Hollywood Stars Turn Out for Sutton Foster’s “Once Upon a Mattress”

**Los Angeles, CA** – Hugh Jackman and Carol Burnett added some serious star power to Sutton Foster’s run of “Once Upon a Mattress” in Los Angeles this past weekend. The acclaimed actors were spotted in the audience at the Ahmanson Theatre on Saturday, January 4th, for one of the final performances. Photos show Jackman, beaming, capturing a moment with the legendary Burnett, who famously originated the role Foster is currently playing in the 1959 production. Burnett, receiving a warm ovation from the audience during intermission, even shared a kiss and wave with the crowd.

The appearance comes as a show of support from Jackman, who previously shared the stage with Foster in the Broadway hit “The Music Man.” Foster, speaking highly of Jackman’s leadership and collaborative spirit last June, described him as “one of the greatest guys ever.” The two actors’ presence added to the excitement surrounding the already celebrated run.

This event marked a poignant moment for both Jackman, recently divorced after 27 years of marriage, and Foster, who filed for divorce in October 2024. The night served as a reminder of the enduring bonds within the theater community, as well as a testament to Foster’s talent and the enduring appeal of “Once Upon a Mattress.”
