Hugh Jackman turned his Radio City Music Hall residency into a full-circle spectacle, bringing out Pink and her 14-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart for a surprise performance.
On Saturday, September 20, Jackman’s From New York, With Love show featured Pink (real name Alecia Moore-Hart), as the advertised special guest. But the audience didn’t see Willow’s cameo coming. Together, the trio delivered an emotional rendition of “A Million Dreams” — the song that connects all three performers across generations.
For Jackman, 56, it was a return to the number he made famous in The Greatest Showman. For Pink, 46, it was a callback to her 2018 cover of the track on The Greatest Showman: Reimagined. And for Willow, it was a milestone moment: she recorded the “A Million Dreams (Reprise)” at age seven, and now, seven years later, sang it live at one of New York’s most iconic venues.
Jackman didn’t let the moment end at Radio City. The following day, he took to Instagram with clips from the performance, showing Willow front and center. In the footage — which looks like it was captured from the side of the stage — the teen belts the lyrics as the audience erupts in cheers. Jackman beams beside her, visibly stunned by her powerful delivery, while Pink clutches her chest and even appears to wipe away a tear.
It didn’t take long for fans to flood the comments section.
“This was truly amazing to witness live. Willow is incredible, just like her mum. Great job all of you. ❤️,” one person wrote.
“That mama was holding it together for dear life. Beautiful,” another said.
“Looks like everyone got a bit emotional,” pointed out a third.
It’s not Willow’s first time sharing the spotlight with her mom. She performed “Cover Me in Sunshine” on tour, joined Pink at the Billboard Music Awards in 2021, and belted out “What About Us” at a political event in 2024.
Meanwhile, Pink — who shares Willow and her younger brother Jameson, 8, with husband Carey Hart — has been balancing family life with music. Willow just started high school earlier this month, and Carey marked the milestone on Instagram with side-by-side first-day photos of both kids.
“1st day of school for the kiddo’s!!!!” he captioned the September 4 post. “So crazy that Willz is starting high school today. My lil girl is growing up and taking the 1st major step in chasing her dream. You will be on broadway one day. So proud of you. And Jamo, just don’t eat to much glue 🤣🤣🤣.”
As for Jackman, his Radio City residency continues through October with a rotating cast of guests — Kate Hudson, who co-stars with him in the upcoming musical Song Sung Blue, is up next and is scheduled to join him on Oct. 3 and Oct. 4.
