Does God have a tux?

Barbara Walters had a special that ran just before the Oscars.
She interviewed Hugh Jackman.
He told about singing at Carnegie Hall (search Hugh Jackman & Carnegie Hall on YouTube).
When his dad found out his son was singing at Carnegie Hall he was determined to be there even though he had to travel to New York City from Australia and return the day after the performance.

Hugh told his dad it was a black tie event so to be sure to wear a tux.
Later they changed the dress code and when Hugh found this out he told his dad not to worry about the tux.
The evening of the performance, Hugh Jackman's dad showed up at Carnegie Hall wearing a tuxedo. The only tux in the hall.
"Dad, I told you it wasn't black tie! You didn't need to wear a tux. They changed the dress code."

"Son," his father said (Australian accent),
"if my son's singing at Carnegie Hall, for me it's black tie."
Hugh Jackman's dad sat on the edge of his seat during the whole performance, tears streaming down his face. Proud of his son.


I wonder if God the Father wore a tux when his son died, was buried & rose again...
