Sutton Lenore Foster (born March 18, 1975) is an American actress, singer and dancer. She is known for her work on the Broadway stage, for which she has received two Tony Awards for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical in 2002 for her role as Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie and in 2011 for her performance as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. Her other Broadway credits include Little Women, The Drowsy Chaperone, Young Frankenstein, Shrek the Musical, and Violet. On television, Foster played the lead role in the short-lived ABC Family comedy-drama Bunheads from 2012 to 2013. Since March 2015, she has starred in the TV Land comedy-drama Younger.
Early life and education
Foster was born in Statesboro, Georgia, and raised in Troy, Michigan.[1] At the age of 15, she was a contestant on the reality competition show Star Search[1][2] and also auditioned for the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club. She left Troy High School before graduating (she received her diploma via correspondence courses) to join the national tour of The Will Rogers Follies directed by Tommy Tune.[1][3][4] Then she attended Carnegie Mellon University for one year,[4][5] but left to pursue a theatrical career full-time. In May 2012, she received an honorary doctorate from Ball State University, "in recognition of her outstanding career in theater, television and music and for her contributions to the educational experience and professional growth of Ball State students."[6]
Her older brother is actor Hunter Foster.[1][4]
Career
1995-2001: Early Career
After touring in the role of Sandy Dumbrowski in the musical Grease throughout 1995, Foster transferred to the Broadway production in 1996.[7][8] She left to appear in the ensemble of the Broadway musical The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1997, and after that closed[9] she returned as the Star to Be in the revival of Annie. This was followed in 1998 by a role in What the World Needs Now at the Old Globe Theatre, before she began touring with Les Misérables as Eponine Thenardier. She understudied the role on Broadway in 2000. [10]
Foster ultimately left Les Mis to appear in the ensemble of the pre-Broadway run of Thoroughly Modern Millie at the La Jolla Playhouse. However, leading lady Kristin Chenoweth ended up backing, and after Erin Dilly turned down the job, Foster ended up taking over the role of Millie Dilmount. [11][12] During Millie hiatus, Foster appeared in Dorian at Goodspeed Musicals, The 3hree Musketeers at the American Musical Theatre of San Jose, and South Pacific at the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera.
2002-2010: Breakthrough and stage success
Thoroughly Modern Millie finally opened on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre in 2002, to many positive reviews. The New York Daily News reviewer described her: "newcomer Sutton Foster, who has the pert look, the silver voice and the dazzling legwork to make an extraordinarily winning Millie."[13] Clive Barnes, reviewing for the New York Post wrote "Newcomer Sutton Foster's own star turn as Millie is perfectly charming, but as a star she doesn't twinkle, glitter or light up Broadway like a Christmas tree defying a July noon. But she has a good voice and is cutely agreeable."[14] The Newsday reviewer wrote: "She has a smile that may remind you of Mary Tyler Moore, the gawky comic precision of the young Carol Burnett, the lyricism of a romantic heroine and a smallish but vibrant voice as accurate as it is expressive. As [Millie], another of New York's prototypical small-town girls with big-city dreams, [Sutton Foster] appears unfazed by the burden of a character created onscreen by Julie Andrews. The newcomer takes the big stage with an uninhibited what-the-heck comfort level and the discipline to go with her instincts."[15] Time Magazine wrote: "she's [Sutton Foster] got the full package: girlish gawkiness and Broadway brass, the legs and the lungs. Foster is a big reason the show is just about the cutest thing to hit Broadway since Annie's dimples, with perkily retro songs by Jeanine Tesori and clever staging by director Michael Mayer..."[16] Foster went on to win the 2002 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical,[17] the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical,[18] and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical for her performance.[19][20] During the run, Foster appeared in concert versions of Chess and Funny Girl, before leaving in 2004.
Upon leaving, Foster did a concert version of Snoopy! The Musical and returned to the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera for a production of Me and My Girl to wrap up the year. In May 2005, Foster co-starred as Jo March opposite Maureen McGovern as Marmee in the musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel Little Women, for which she was nominated for her second Tony Award.[21] The production closed after just a few months.
She returned to Broadway at the Marquis Theatre in May 2006 in The Drowsy Chaperone, a spoof of 1920s musicals. She played Janet van de Graaff, a famous Broadway starlet who opts to forgo a stage career in favor of married life. The musical had a pre-Broadway run at the Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles in November to December 2005.[22] Her performance earned her a third Tony nomination.[23]
Foster left the musical in 2007 and co-starred in Mel Brooks' musical adaptation of his film Young Frankenstein as the Swedish yodeling fraulein Inga, first at the Paramount Theatre and then on Broadway from October 2007 to July 2008.[24]
In 2007, Foster guest-starred on the children's musical puppet show Johnny and the Sprites[25] and in a three-episode story arc on the HBO sitcom Flight of the Conchords.[26]
She left the show to play Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical, which opened on Broadway on December 14, 2008.[27] For this role, Foster won her second Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical[28] and was nominated for her fourth Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical.[29] She played her final performance on January 3, 2010, when the show closed on Broadway. Foster participated in a reading of a work-in-progress new musical, Bonnie and Clyde: A Folktale, in June 2009. Her brother, Hunter is writing the music for this musical.[30]
Foster's debut solo album Wish was released by Ghostlight Records in February 2009. The songs range from jazz to pop to cabaret to Broadway.[31] In 2010, Foster promoted the album with concert performances in Boston, New York City, Chicago, the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Orange County, California, and Washington, D.C.[32]
Foster starred as Nurse Fay Apple in the New York City Center's Encores! production of Anyone Can Whistle, which played from April 8 to April 11, 2010.[33] Foster made her Off-Broadway debut in Paul Weitz's comedy Trust with Zach Braff, Bobby Cannavale and Ari Graynor which began previews July 23, 2010 with an official opening August 12, running through September 12, 2010 at Second Stage Theatre.[34] Foster and Seth Rudetsky participated in the one night only Actors Fund benefit concert version of They're Playing Our Song on August 30, 2010 at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater, John Jay College, New York. The full cast included Efé, Kaitlyn Davidson, Alex Ellis, Maynard, Matt Loehr, and Jesse Nager, and was directed by Denis Jones.[35]
Foster taught a Spring Semester master class at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts Undergraduate Department of Drama, beginning in January 2010. It culminated in a cabaret performance at Joe's Pub in May titled "From Rodgers To Heart".[36][37] She taught the master class again in Fall Semester 2010, culminating in another performance at Joe's Pub, "Crazy for Gershwin". Both were musically directed by Deborah Abramson. She is now on the faculty of NYU's New Studio on Broadway. Foster taught a week-long master class session at Ball State University (Muncie, IN) in January 2010.[30] She continued her relationship with Ball State in September 2010 by working with students in the classroom, teaching master classes, and performing workshops for students of the Department of Theatre and Dance.
She also guest-starred on an episode of the NBC legal drama Law & Order: SVU, which aired on March 3, 2010 opposite comedian Kathy Griffin.[38]
Foster performed at the 33rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors in a tribute to Jerry Herman, singing "Before the Parade Passes By."[39] She performed at the Kennedy Center Honors the following year in a tribute to Barbara Cook.[40] She made a third appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2013, performing for the tribute to Shirley MacLaine.[41]
