Broadway is the promised land of great musicals worldwide. Those performers who know how to combine acting and singing with very noticeable results meet there, but this enclave is also, sometimes, a space where love is born. Sutton Foster seems to have found it by surprise (since she was married until less than a month ago to Ted Griffin) along with Hugh Jackman. His name may not be as popular as the actor’s in our country, but his brilliant career in the musical genre deserves some attention. His past and present have been the focus of the news since it became known that his friendship with the Golden Globe winner could have gone further. But how did it all start?

In 2023 and after almost 30 years of love, Jackman’s then impeccable and applauded marriage to Deborra Lee-Furness came to an end. The couple recognized that the respect they had for each other had transformed into friendship and that the feeling was no longer the same.

Later, in January 2024, information emerged revealing that the protagonist of the the great showman He would move to London, where he was looking to smile again after a unpleasant period. First, he did it for work and secondarily, to be close to his mother, always with the support of those around him.
And how does Sutton Foster come into this equation? At the end of this month of October the news broke: the winner of two Tony Awards and her then-husband of nearly a decade, Ted Griffin, were divorcing. “The Broadway star, 49, filed for divorce from her screenwriter husband, 53, in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday, October 22, according to court records reviewed by PEOPLE”the magazine announced. They are both parents of Emily, a seven-year-old girl whom they adopted after years of difficulties conceiving their baby (a situation similar to Jackman’s). In an interview granted to Broadway.comback in 2015, the American interpreter defined Griffin as “the smartest guy she had ever met.”
