Nicole Kidman Receives Standing Ovation After Bidding $100,000 For Hugh Jackman's Signed Hat

Nicole Kidman gave a hefty sum to show her support for the charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Kidman watched the performance of Hugh Jackman's "The Music Man" revival on Broadway Saturday. She also made her presence known during an auction for the charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, when she bid $100,000 for a hat signed by the "Wolverine" star.

Jackman shared a video of the auction on Twitter and thanked his fellow Australian for her support.

"The generosity emanating from #NicoleKidman leaves me speechless! You ARE amazing. Thank you for your friendship and support! @MusicManBway @NicholastheWard @BCEFA," Jackman wrote in the caption.

In the footage, a woman bid $100,000, and when she walked near the stage at the Winter Garden Theater, the crowd clapped while one shouted, "That's Nicole Kidman." When she approached the stage, Jackman and Kidman hugged.

"I love you. I love Broadway. And I love what they do, Broadway Cares, but I also want to say this show is extraordinary," Kidman said when she took the microphone.

"I've known Nic for almost 30 years. I've worked with her. I can tell you this is not a surprise to me. She is one of the most generous souls I know," Jackman followed. "You're a beautiful person. I love you. Thank you."

The "Greatest Showman" star also jokingly said, "I just want to be clear, this is not Australian dollars." Under the current conversion, Kidman's bid amounts to 148,744 Australian dollars, Variety reported.

The "Music Man" cast has been raising funds for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS at the end of their performances.

"Ms. Kidman's remarkable support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS on Saturday night was wonderful to see and her extraordinary generosity will be deeply appreciated by the entire Broadway community," Kate Horton, the producer of "The Music Man," shared in a statement.

"Broadway Cares is blessed with friends across Broadway. But we have no greater champion than Hugh Jackman. This extraordinary gift from his pal Nicole Kidman is, by far, the largest donation for any one auction item ever. That's 20,000 meals and 2,000 doctor visits this holiday season for those living with HIV/AIDS, struggling with COVID-19, or facing other life-threatening challenges," Broadway Cares executive director Tom Viola added.

"Donations made at The Music Man, all across Broadway, Off-Broadway and at national touring productions will provide meals and medication, health care and hope this holiday season."

Jackman and Kidman have starred in several movies together, including "Australia" in 2008, "Happy Feet" in 2006 and its sequel "Happy Feet Two" in 2011.
