Jackman, Hugh Partake in Charity Auction

Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig are the two hunky actors starring in the current Broadway production A Steady Rain, and their roles in the popular play have sold tons of tickets so far. Aside from their acting in A Steady Rain, however, Jackman and Craig have also been involved in another Broadway endeavor -Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The two actors recently auctioned the shirts off their backs (literally) for the charity, taking time off after a recent performance to hold an auction to benefit the BC/EFA.

After a performance of A Steady Rain on Oct. 23, Jackman and Craig auctioned off and signed the shirts they were wearing to the highest bidders during the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids event, each actor selling his t-shirt for a whopping $5,000. The duo also took pictures with 20 audience members for $1,000 each, and other A Steady Rain posters and memorabilia were auctioned off, as well, bringing the total in auction proceeds to a one-night record of $38,900. The money raised from the Hugh Jackman/Daniel Craig auction will go to an upcoming Gypsy of the Year event for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and in the meantime Craig and Jackman will continue drawing in audiences to see A Steady Rain onstage at the Schoenfeld Theatre.
