Song Sung Blue (2025) is a biographical musical drama about Mike and Claire Sardina, a married couple who found success as a Neil Diamond tribute band named “Lightning & Thunder”. Starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, the film follows their journey through musical passion, financial struggles, personal tragedy, and resilience.
It is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name, highlighting the life of the real Milwaukee-based tribute act. Hugh Jackman plays Mike (“Lightning”) and Kate Hudson plays Claire (“Thunder”), showcasing their dedication to performing, even after personal health crises.
The film explores the highs and lows of their careers, including opening for Pearl Jam, alongside personal hardships, such as Claire’s leg amputation following a car accident.
It is described as a heartwarming “underdog story” about love, second chances, and passion for music, sometimes featuring a blend of humour and emotional drama.
The movie is written and directed by Craig Brewer and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of impersonators
The Guardian **** “Neil Diamond tribute act gets sweet treat of movie thanks to Jackman and Hudson”
