Hugh Jackman has made an Australian girls dream come true.
The all-singing-all-dancing actor took 17-year-old Charisse Mitchell as his date to the opening night of new Broadway musical, The Addams Family.
Charisse made the wish through the Make-a-Wish Foundation which is a charity that grants wishes to sick children around the world.
Speaking on the red carpet the teenager said: "It is unbelievable. I never thought it would come true but it finally happened."
To which Jackman added: "(It is) my wish too, let me be honest. I heard from Charisse and she wanted to come and meet me. I said, how about a date and going to a Broadway opening?"
The Addams Family stars two-time Tony Award winners Nathan Lane as Gomez Addams and Bebe Neuwirth as his wife Morticia Addams.
The musical features an original story about Gomez and Morticia's daughter Wednesday, dubbed 'every parents worst nightmare' who suddenly becomes a young woman and falls in love with a young man from a respectable family.
Talking about the musical Jackan said: "It is an interesting thing about human nature how we really love a family like this. We want them all to be happy, even though they're happy when they're not."
