The pair were seen holding hands as they left the Noel Coward Theatre in Covent Garden, where they were greeted by a sea of adoring fans.

Chart-topper Keith, 47, cut a fashionable figure in a pair of black skinny jeans and his khaki-coloured, military-style coat. 

Clearly proud of his Hollywood heavyweight partner, he beamed a huge smile as he guided her through the passionate crowds.  

Evidently delighted to be in the company of her man, Nicole glowed as she emerged into the night.

Polite as always, the antipodean beauty signed countless autographs and took selfies with some of the crowd, with others raising their smart phones to catch a glimpse of the passing star.

Despite having finished what would have been a long day of preparations ahead of the performance mother of four Nicole was looking luminous.

Her skin was glowing under a dewy application of makeup, which she added a pop of colour to with a slick of high gloss berry lips. 

The 48-year-old's strawberry blonde locks were pulled back away from her face and secured into a low updo with a few wavy strands falling loose around the front.

Following the well-received first showing, many audience members took to Twitter to gush about Nicole's stunning performance..

One user tweeted: 'Brilliant performance by Nicole Kidman on her opening night on stage at the Noel Coward Theatre. #Photograph51', while another wrote: 'As a PhD student in chemistry and crystallography at Oxford, #Photograph51 was a phenomenal! @NicoleKidman was superb! #Inspired'. 

Photograph 51 is the name given to an x-ray image taken by a researcher at King's College London, which revealed the double-helix shape of DNA.

It was a crucial starting point for research by Francis Crick and James Watson, who identified how DNA was structured.

Seemingly a role close to her heart, Nicole revealed to Dailymail.com earlier this year that she had discussed the role with her dad Dr Antony, who was a biochemist, before he died, saying: 'When I told him I was thinking about doing it, he was very excited. 

'Then my dad passed away last September. I went: "All right, I need to do this for my father."'  

Nicole, who wowed West End audiences back in 1998 with her performance in David Hare's The Blue Room, added there were other factors which attracted her to the role when she saw the script for the first time last year: ‘It's written by a woman, and it’s about a woman that a lot of women don’t know about.

'And I need to do it because I've got to get back on stage, into that uncomfortable place of going, "I'm terrified!"'
