Surprise Proposal on Broadway!
6 Jul
Summary
- Peter Hermann proposed to Mariska Hargitay during her final performance.
- The proposal mirrored a scene from the play Every Brilliant Thing.
- Hargitay's last show was on Sunday, July 5, at the Hudson Theater.
Mariska Hargitay concluded her run in the Broadway production of "Every Brilliant Thing" with a deeply personal surprise. On Sunday, July 5, her husband, Peter Hermann, joined her onstage at the Hudson Theater in New York City. Hermann, also an actor, recreated a proposal scene, asking Hargitay to marry him. This romantic gesture echoed a moment from the play, where the audience watched as a scene from life intertwined with the performance.
Hargitay, who made her Broadway debut in the solo show, has described the experience as life-affirming and exhilarating. She took over the role from Daniel Radcliffe starting May 26. The play centers on looking back at life's beautiful moments. Following her final bow and a standing ovation, Hargitay embraced Hermann, who then presented her with flowers and expressed his love.
Tracee Ellis Ross is set to take over the role of the narrator from July 7 through August 9. Hargitay and Hermann, married since 2004, are parents to three children. Hargitay previously shared that the key to their lasting marriage is "disciplined curiosity" and active listening.
