During his acceptance speech, Hugh quipped, "She's never kept a secret her entire life." Apparently she told him she was "just off to the loo" and then secretly went on stage!
He gave props to his wife and kids for their ongoing support and also was remarkably moved since his wife is not a fan of public speaking and here she was at the podium in front of the audience!

The past year has been quite successful for Hugh -- he raised more than $850,000 by auctioning off his shirts after each performance of Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway. Plus, he set a record for the highest weekly gross with his namesake show earning more than $2 million in its final week! His shows were sold out for ten weeks in NYC.
Way to go, Hugh!
