Show People with Paul Wontorek Interview: Sutton Foster on the Tony Awards and "Anything Goes"

Buy Tickets to "Anything Goes": www.broadway.com/shows/anythin...
Before ever setting foot on stage as Reno Sweeney in the latest revival of Anything Goes, Sutton Foster stopped by Broadway.com's studio to chat with Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek on Show People about taking on the iconic role. One (more!) Tony nomination later, Foster is back in the hot seat to talk about this overwhelming awards season. The famously low-key Foster has brought out the big glamour guns, even though she still sees herself as "A simple girl. A crunchy girl...who smells really good." Click on to hear Foster share why a teenage stint playing a showgirl in Will Rogers' Follies made her shy away from her girly side, the amount of costume padding it takes to recreate the "giant, juicy jugs" in the Anything Goes bus ads, and the best thing about winning-and losing-on a Tony night. Plus: a hint at her Tony dress. Enjoy!

AND SHE WON. shes so awesome. the most deserving person ever

[@maddyoliver2628]

This dude. Stop asking about her appearance. Start asking about her shows. And her talent. Damn

[@brunobalog]

Well, she had an interview with "this dude" a few months earlier, so there's no point in repeating the things they discussed then.

[@ania5038]

I'm pretty sure she likes to talk about it and Paul is gay so it's not because he's a creep...

[@cinderella458]

Sutton Foster is so goofy lol.I love her!!!!!

[@MrsKiarara94]

She's....she's... I don't even know how to define her. SUTTON

[@alexstafford1196]

When I grow up I wanna be Sutton Foster

[@prawnio21]

I bet when she was asked what she would be doing in 10 years time she didnt think she'd be starring in the west end as Reno Sweeney again! She totally deserved that Tony! I saw her in London last month and she hasn't missed a beat in this role even 10 years later, she was so good im going back in October (her last day 😪) im betting she'll get her 3rd Tony for the music man

[@michaljozsa]

would be cool winning both a tony and an olivier in one year :)

[@prawnio21]

@@michaljozsa completely agree and would be totally worthy of it!!!

[@AndrewShmandrew14]

It hasn't even been 5 years and she's already achieved that first goal she talked about. She is officially bicoastal. Sutton is just awesome.

[@songbird4799]

"You like my ass!" Lol She is my idol

[@ashmayers]

Everything she does is just so adorable!

[@AGZEBRA22]

Looking back, I bet Sutton's one specific thing for her acceptance speech was probably Julien.

[@Tacoking9291]

Greatest. Interview. Ever.

[@AbiS1018]

10 years later she is soon to start playing reno again and has a child :)

[@HadaCakraningrat]

she is beautiful and very well mannered, i love her

[@stevesands3109]

I have to comment believe me when I tell everybody we acknowledge that Sutton has a great body but that’s NOT what makes her a star - it’s her natural personality & talent that personifies her❤❤❤❤

[@HikariDragonRyuu]

Can we get a third interview with her, now that she has a second Tony?

[@LindsayKBurton]

"Although it may turn into a wine club" *grin*

[@ryansherod3469]

HAHAHA. 9:20 she just didnt want to fall down at the tonys. and Paul says "could you imagine if that happened to someone?" all im thinking is Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars

[@danacas1101]

I want to join her book/wine club. That would be way too much fun.

[@MegBrokenshire]

She's an amazing person!

[@pinoyidol2006]

Oh yes! Love her. Just have her on this show like every other episode! If you can get Lea Salonga, that would be awesome!

[@LPM12]

Seeing Anything Goes TOMORROW!!

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Actually perfect..

[@BwayLucy]

She says she's never worn a strapless dress before, but what about the red one for the Chess Benefit Concert? Love this interview by the way! She is so great, lovely, and down-to-earth! =)

[@broadwayfan66]

I don't know what she's talking about.. I think she's SMOKING without makeup and padding!

[@jpk0498]

I would kill for a chance to meet her on the street or something. Oh my god. Id be freaking out and fanboying for days if I could take one picture with her

[@RImusclebear1]

Sutton, the gay man's dream girl!

[@princesstootsweet3]

10:02 ....but moment ever lol

[@singingski]

18:05 love her!!!

[@acciodisneyland1]

@ramptabs hahahaha me to!

[@loekesakkers6812]

Surprised she didn’t seem to mind him talking about her body like that. Made me cringe so hard. What she looks like shouldn’t be important. Also all bodies are good bodies.

[@SophyaAgain]

She's funny🙂

[@healthyholemealbread]

does anyone have a link to daisy eegan's speech? x

[@thekermitkid1992]

Sutton, when are you coming to London?

[@michaljozsa]

summer of 2021 :D

[@MissGarland1986]

[@cxeazn]

Look outside your dressing room, I'm sure there's a Jag there!

[@JLX1373]

[@mllama999]

@DreamingOfATony i think she's 36 almost 37... she said in 10 years be 46

[@madamegucci1771]

Georgia gals are the best....sweet southern peach of a LADY!

[@AngelRestivo]

he he, "fire under my butt"

[@nicmic42]

[@The29thStreet]

she is NOT in her thirties. holy fuck i thought she was like 24...

[@Jakob91394]

hot

[@TenayaGriffin]

6 and a 1/2 minutes of straight fashion talk. blah.

[@JTGirl1]

She's adorable and VERY talented. but she's very plain looking not a beauty per say.
