Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson team up with director Craig Brewer for Song sung blue, a moving drama based on the stranger-than-fiction story of Milwaukee-based Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning and Thunder.
The movie, which I called a “feel-good movie” in my review and a good tearjerker,” involves big dreams, big losses, and how music can help people get through all of that. So when I, entertainment editor Kristy Puchko, sat down with Jackman, Hudson, and Brewer to talk about the film, we naturally got into the power of karaoke.
Within the film, both Jackman and Hudson perform musical performances on stages large and small. But two scenes from a karaoke night really impacted me. The famous co-stars talked about these scenes and then shared some stories of their own, like the time Hudson performed for Quincy Jones and the night John Travolta and Jackman did a duet of “Summer Love” from Fatthe latter plays Sandy because he is Australian.
Brewer also shared her love of karaoke on and off screen, explaining why this particular form of performance is so impactful and what makes it so relatable.
blue sung song opens in theaters on December 25.
