Ask a Star: Sutton Foster

The SHREK star ponders questions from...you!

[@msdemeanormaven]

Dude -- props to Sutton Foster for calling the brilliance that is Lin Manuel Miranda before Hamilton even was a thing... Talent knows talent!!

[@asnalelo.165]

@@bman342ahe had nothing to do w tick tick boom before the movie (except playing Jon in like 2014 or something but that was also after this interview )

[@BruceSullivan5]

She seems very down to earth Being a recipient of two Tony Awards ..Treats her Gifted Voice with simple warm ups nothing that would be a drag ...

[@leif1075]

Why should or would someone with a Tony not be down to earth?

[@tapdanczer03080]

she's so down to earth, doesn't have to wear makeup or dress up super fancy I love her

[@briannabee101]

she's so NORMAL I DON'T GET IT

[@animated_anna]

I just love the way she says everyone's name before answering their questions!! Also she just seems so relaxed and comfortable with herself, which I really respect. She's not putting on airs or showing off at all, just being spontaneously real and genuine. Love that. Way to go, Sutton. Great role model, wonderful talent. I think your third wish will come true!

[@asnalelo.165]

well she doesn’t wanna show off

[@jenniferfeliciano66]

[@mattmanning4252]

jenniferfeliciano66 I agree

[@MissGarland1986]

She's so incredibly funny and her personality is HUGE. No wonder she's my favourite in the entire world. 🥰

[@lilythefreakx]

"Your personality is big-ish" 😍

[@AlwaysMusicAlly]

My first Broadway show was Anything Goes. I swear, my love for her just keeps growing.

[@Steviejaedavis]

Oh my god she is the cutest thing ever

[@yobhsiFehT]

About two seconds in, I realized I'd already seen this, and I kinda simultaneously realized I didn't care and was going to watch it anyway:D Later on, I remembered that this video was also the reason I decided Sutton Foster would be one of the first people I followed on Twitter:P lol ... Yeah, good times...

Ginormous Eponine terrorizing the streets of Paris XD

[@hpeszti]

She's so lovely and humble! She also seems like such a genuine person, I hope she continues to be awesome.

Sutton Foster is so awesome, total inspiration!!!

I LOVE THIS GIRL! So amazing.

[@julesk2629]

I used to watch this daily and OMG she talks about LMM!!

[@lisahiggins2392]

shes so goofy and down to earth, god i love her :D

[@LadyHawke78]

My height (5'9.5"...) is one of the reasons I gave up on musical theatre early on and just kept up with doing straight plays and singing in choir. Got tired of being told I didn't look right for parts. Mostly because I'd be taller than the male leads. LOL. FEEL YA ON THAT ONE, MS. FOSTER! :O

[@missbuttercream1758]

Lady Hawke dude I’m the sAME height and literally had the same thing happen to me, Sutton is such an inspiration

[@lilycarolinesings]

Lady Hawke I’m 5’10 and feel your pain

[@franfrankie7]

@@missbuttercream1758 im 4'10 but I'm only a teen so I'm gonna grow more but I always play child roles still lol 😂

[@ameliamorgan2287]

As a teen who's already 5'7 this scares me. I'd never thought of it being an issue before

[@nancymcclymont2858]

@@ameliamorgan2287 Don’t you let it be… Go after every role you want. It’s ridiculous that this reducing of women ever happened, Sutton has done just fine 11 years later. Can you imagine if she believed that nonsense? Make those panelists SWEAT trying to be as happy with the fun sized gals when they have the wonder that is YOU right there!

[@IamIzzyF]

so shes laid back and cool!i love her!!

[@katies1124]

I saw it on Netflix omg loved it SOOOOOOOOOOO good I love "I know it's today" ❤️

I wanna be her when I grow up....

[@maurocamarena9319]

I've been to NY once and It was amazing, I feel like I wasn´t prepared for it, I wasn´t that much of a Broadway fan as I am now, I watched TPOTO and It was amazing, but right now I wish I had seen a Sutton Foster Show!!! I love her!!

[@DrewZepp]

She was Eponine WHAT

[@CaptainAmerica-jw2xh]

[@LennoxSoup]

Saw her in Anything Goes and she did AMAZING!!! So talented and entertaining. I just hope that I'll be able to see the show again with her still on it!

[@MissGarland1986]

[@gregburns5638]

Sutton, I had the sincere pleasure of meeting you and the cast of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at a CD signing at, I believe, "Virgin Records" in New York City back in like 2001. You are FABULOUS, and I love you DEARLY!!! 😍❤

SUTTON FOSTER♡♡♡♡♡

[@yitznewton]

That is such a shame about Belle, the original animated Belle was tall!

[@entertainer1987]

Maybe when the show was still running she was too tall to star opposite the actors who were playing the Beast and Gaston. Belle isn't supposed to be taller than either of them. It's still a shame though because she would've made a great Belle.

Oh my gosh, like 3 seconds before she said Lucky Charms I thought "I would be lucky charms"

[@karencarter18042]

She got to work with her brother in the show Bunheads,. It must have been a stretch for him to play Scotty who is the brother of Michelle , Sutton's character. LOL if you haven't seen them singing Tonite, you belong to me, you should it is on youtube.
