Tony Award winner Sutton Foster, who won a Tony Award for "Thoroughly Modern Millie" on Broadway and has also appeared in "Little Women," "The Drowsy Chaperone," "Shrek" and "Young Frankenstein" talks with Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek about her Broadway highs, early stage roles, her off-Broadway dramatic debut in "Trust" and preparing for the role of Reno Sweeney in the upcoming Broadway revival of "Anything Goes."

In my opinion, Sutton Foster is the GREATEST Broadway actress from the 21st Century!!! She is an AMAZING talent (she has 2 Tony's to prove it) and she is so sweet and down to earth and I can't think of a Broadway actress from the 21st century who has done what she has done. Sutton you are a STAR. Period!

7:10 she mentioned the classic role she wanted to play is "Baker's wife" from "Into the Woods".
And now she did that in 2019

As much of a fan of Show People as I am, I didn't appreciate the fact that Paul said she became a Broadway star overnight. :( Sutton herself prides herself on being one of those girls that worked her way up through the system in a very "traditional" sort of way, through a tremendous amount of work, starting as a dancer in the back row and always improving her craft to get where she was. It's just not fair to frame it as if it was all luck and an "overnight" thing. It was in fact a life long journey of dedication and hard work.

Don't hate on this girl. She's possibly one of the most sincere, sweet women in the theatre business right now. Wanna know what else? She went to my high school. we did millie about 7 years ago she dropped everything in new york and went to see the show. We did Little Women she did our curtain speech. Drowsy was done (me as kitty) and she did the opening speech. Doing Oklahoma this year. She was Ado Annie the first time my school did it. She's coming back to see. So don't hate on her. EVER.

[JoolsMatarazzo]

Sutton is the sweetest!

She is seriously one of the most down to earth people one could ever met on Broadway.

She is not only THE triple threat of our generation, the biggest name broadway produced in the first decade of the 2000s, but she is also kind to her fans, and respectful to her co-stars.

Stop hating on her. It's really sad i know, not be able to be as half as good as her... but be reasonable. VERY few people can...

[Justlov]

Sutton has the best facial expressions ever. She is such a lovely person. She is such an inspiration on so many levels.

[mllama]

SO much hate...I met her and she was THE SWEETEST person. I was starstruck, completely speechless, and she was so nice and kind to everyone, she signed everything anyone wanted. You don't have to love her---everyone's got their preference. Just don't hate on the people who don't agree with you!!!

[Sarah]

She seems like such a genuine person. It would be awesome to be friends with her.

[Moonlight-trjv]

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW THOSE LITTLE CLIPS OF THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE I CANT BELIEVE THOSE EXIST AND I DONT HAVE ACCESS TO THEM IM FREAKIN OUT

[sevets]

Sutton Foster is really one of the great ones; loved hearing about her past. I am very proud of her Georgia roots and just wish her continued success - she deserves it all.

[LPM]

Paul, I am loving these things. Keep em coming

[AuroraBrent]

Got to meet her after a local concert. She is just as sweet and personable as she is here. She chatted and signed the program from the show. I can't wait for "Anything Goes!"

[ladybobfishcake]

Buzz off trolls, she's amazing in every way

[CinderCorner]

Sutton's face on the Time Capsule question- PRICELESS!
She's so adorable

[BroadwayFan]

i saw Anything Goes last night and Sutton was amazing

[Showaholic]

LMAO. she kept cracking me up the whole interview with her facial expressions. she's hilarious.

[rosiewebber]

I'm sorry but how could you dislike this?

[Frenchie]

I love when she starts talking about Patti.(:

[thatsnotmynamedancer]

why did someone dislike this video?? she is absolutely amazing!!!

[jasonburke]

I think being awkward as a star makes you more down to earth so I don't think saying she's awkward is an insult
