“My number one piece of advice is to not be an asshole and be kind and respect people around you. You can actually achieve your dreams without being a dick.”
That’s the pointed suggestion that Sutton Foster said she’d give to any young aspiring performers who are coming to see her at the Merriam Theatre in March. The superstar actress, who has multiple Tony Awards to her name and a plethora of screen credits, including her current hit, TV Land’s Younger, is so unbelievably likable that you can’t help but feel that you’re best friends, even after talking to her for a few minutes on the phone.

If two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster sends you a text that reads: “Do you tap dance?,” you can probably bet there’s a good reason she’s suddenly interested in your fancy footwork.
The singer/actress, currently starring on TV Land’s Younger, sent that exact message to her co-star — and on-screen boyfriend — Nico Tortorella, who responded, “Uhm, yes? I have. What do you have in mind?”
Turns out, Foster had the perfect opportunity for the actor/model, who grew up doing musical theater, but had never done it professionally. She needed a partner for a song-and-dance routine in her upcoming series of concerts, and thought he would be perfect.

By Sutton Foster’s estimation, her career hit a new high March last year, when the Broadway star stepped onto the stage at New York’s hallowed Carnegie Hall for a solo concert in front of a crowd of 2800.
So she’d have been forgiven for being a bit more relaxed about her performance at a high school auditorium in Christchurch last week, in front of several hundred fans and students whom she’d been tutoring at a musical theatre summer school.
Not so, apparently. Foster, a two-time Tony Award winner with a string of Broadway credits to her name – but who is perhaps better known to Kiwis as Bret McKenzie’s girlfriend Coco in hit TV series Flight of the Conchords – claims she was just as nervous.

Two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster became a high school dropout the first time she played San Francisco, and a college dropout for her second visit. Cast at age 17 in The Will Rogers Follies, which began its national tour at the Golden Gate Theatre in 1992, she quit school in Troy – which proudly bills itself as the safest city in Michigan – and headed to the wooly West to become a showgirl. “It was the first time I was away from home, and I got to live in San Francisco,” she said. “It was, like, life-changing.”

She was enticed downunder by Luke di Somma, director of the Christchurch International Musical Theatre Summer School (CIMTSS), which Foster will also tutor at.

TAMPA — Sutton Foster takes a stroll backstage. Usually it’s during sound check, an hour or so before her concerts, such as the performance she’ll give Sunday at the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts.
By definition, An Evening With Sutton Foster is going to represent the song list of Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes, for which she won Tony Awards. She will dip into popular and jazzy standards of the last century, plus a few tunes the Sandman forgot. […]
