From Éponine to Marian Paroo: Celebrating Sutton Foster on the Musical Stage

Two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster, back on Broadway opposite fellow Tony winner Hugh Jackman in the revival of The Music Man, celebrates her birthday March 18. In honor of the stage and screen actor, we take a look at her musical theatre performances.

Foster took home Tony Awards for her performances in Anything Goes and Thoroughly Modern Millie, and was Tony-nominated for Shrek the Musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, and Violet. Her other Broadway credits include Young Frankenstein, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Annie, Grease, and Les Misérables.

In addition to her work onstage, Foster has also starred on screen, leading TV shows such as Younger and Bunheads.

The Music Man, directed by four-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks with choreography by Tony winner Warren Carlyle, plays Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre.
