The Inspiring True Story Behind Song Sung Blue

Song Sung Blue, out Dec. 25, stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as a husband-and-wife duo who perform in a Neil Diamond tribute band.

The characters are inspired by Mike and Claire Sardina, a real life couple that performed covers of Diamond classics in Wisconsin under their act “Lightning and Thunder.” Directed by Craig Brewer, the movie dramatizes how the couple fell in love, became a hit in the Milwaukee area, survived a life-altering accident, and made a comeback.
