In this video Musical Theatre Coach Marc Daniel Patrick discusses Sutton Foster in her Tony winning performance of Anything Goes.

[@aprildaugherty2242]

No matter how many times I watch this, I am ALWAYS amazed that you can't hear the dance in anyone's voice. They dance for over three full minutes, full-out, then finish out the song. While dancing. Astounding.

[@maryblakley3590]

My son (almost 3) is OBSESSED with this rendition. He calls it "the click song". Sutton is flawless...and now I have to research toddler tap classes.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Have you shown him qongqothwane?

[@RebeccaM89]

She’s the ABSOLUTE best. Hands down. Her voice, her presence, her charisma is unmatched. And yes, she’s never going to age. Here’s to many MANY more years of Sutton Foster!

[@Bakerboy1958]

And how about she’s just about the only woman in this role that stayed onstage and danced for the whole 10 minutes. Wow!

[@Phelie315]

Did they change the choreography for her alternates and stuff?

[@dwise571]

Several years ago Sutton was our guest artist for a big Christmas concert. She and her husband came out and spent the week with our group for final rehearsals and performances. She is absolutely as nice and genuine as she appears to be on screen. I only wish we had had a tap number so she could have shown off her dance skills!

[@angusmackechnie5141]

Saw her in this at the Barbican on Tuesday… she’s clearly actually a machine. That. Final. Note.

[@brxzbze]

Yeah that note was insane. Saw her at the Barbican too and she brought the house down in every number.

[@figmo397]

My first reaction was “I wish I could fly to England just to see this live. Damn!” I never got to see her do this on Broadway and wish I could have. I think the British promo number was done in one take, lip-synched, and with a lot of cameras. You can’t fake the angle of the sun in an outdoor performance, and that was clearly done live on a morning show. I actually thought she looked *better* with her natural hair color in 2021 than she did with the blond wig in 2011.

[@perrydianaj83]

Wow...she is phenomenal. I've seen Jonathan Groff's performance of this number, which btw you should totally do a video on. He's good. But she is in another league.

[@johannabarkwith3703]

I had to look this up! Brilliant!! 😊😊

[@BMass83]

I LIVE for Jonathan Groff’s tribute to Sutton. That Miscast was so good. “AssAssAss”

[@libertyblake873]

@@BMass83 that's what I was saying when Sutton got to that part.

Have you covered Jonathan Groff covering this from miscast? You should if you haven’t!

[@moniquemaia3203]

Yesss

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

We will get there.

[@j.w.2865]

Yes! It's sooooo fun!

[@BMass83]

I came to look for this comment!!

[@callabeth258]

That’s actually how i was introduced to Sutton Foster because of the miscast interview Groff did about how and why he chose to do the song

[@allieren]

I agree, she just makes it look so effortless. I’ve been a fan of hers for many, many years and would love to see more of her on here!

[@sarahbusch4300]

I’ve seen her perform live multiple times and got to meet her, not only is she incredibly talented and puts in a great show, she’s such a great presence! Hope to see her in the Music Man in 2022

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

With Wolverine!!!

[@berithenriksen410]

I miraculously got tickets pre-pandemic for my birthday, and I’m so excited to FINALLY see her in December!

[@sarahbusch4300]

@@berithenriksen410 so lucky! Can’t wait till it comes out! I’ll definitely be looking out for tickets

[@joycelang1]

Right there with you. I would so love to see her and HJ in that production of The Music Man. Not easy for me living in San Diego however. Pandemic be damned!

[@kerryw1958]

No way!!! I’ve been watching “In Rehearsal: Sutton Foster sings Anything Goes” all week and was going to ask you to do a video on it. You read my mind. Sutton is phenomenal!!!

[@adorimable9690]

That tap routine is so smooth, i wish my tap class when i was 8 kept with me lol

[@lmariej3858]

Back when she was doing Millie she was a guest instructor at a Broadway singing workshop and I was her assistant. I got to spend some one on one time doing vocal warm ups with her and some acting and it was so FUN! She is the nicest, sincerest, funny woman I have met in the business. I have followed her journey ever since her first Tony.

[@dmitsumori]

Check out the same number back in 2011 but with the full cast and at a press event in a rehearsal hall: In Rehearsal: Sutton Foster Sings "Anything Goes." Just seeing everyone in their own dance clothes, moving around tape markings on the floor, and Sutton singing her heart out before AND AFTER the full dance number is just incredible.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Agreed. Somehow bth rehearsal videos are sometime more impressive than it up onstage.

[@rachaelkilpatrick9774]

I think this rehearsal is far more impressive. The patterns are amazing. Not distracted by costumes, set or camera angles. I have watched it so many times.

[@dmitsumori]

@@rachaelkilpatrick9774 "so many times"...at least! Ha!

[@MissAmynae]

And she was sick!! She was battling bronchitis and had horrible leg cramps from the meds! She has that same quality that Gene Kelly had- and effortless dynamicism that's truly impossible to learn. You're either born with it, or you're not.

[@amykobb85]

You should absolutely check out Jonathon Groff's version from miscast a few years ago!

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Was gonna add that one too, but the video would have been way too long. We'll get to it.

[@erindonnelly9689]

This is basically a musical theater version of "spot the difference". She's awesome at any age!!

[@ljss123]

There’s a rehearsal for the Broadway version here on KZbin of Sutton singing (with Joel Grey) and dancing. It’s phenomenal.

[@MissGarland1986]

I absolutely LOVE how you smile all the way through watching this. Sutton always brings a smile to people, she gives so much joy to everyone. I'm seeing Sutton in September in row B in the Stalls, up close and personal and I CAN NOT WAIT!! 😁😁 Thank you so much for uploading, I'm so glad I clicked on your video. You've just earned a subscriber.

[@AbiS1018]

I am such a massive fan of Sutton. She’s one of the reasons I’m going into acting. I did think the very last note was a little bit off but she did say she was rusty and as a performer myself I can understand it’s been a while for us all. And we all get rusty. And it’s been 10 years since she did Reno!! I can’t wait to see her in London! Amazing woman! She never disappoints.

[@Jukka70]

I love Sutton, and she is amazing. I can't believe she's in her 40's, I didn't know that.

[@GrandiaKnight]

You may not realise but the man standing next to Sutton at the beginning of the BBC video is also a Tony winner. His name is Robert Lindsay and he won Best Actor in a Musical for a show called Me and My Girl. That version of the show also starred Emma Thompson

[@deborahherrera3928]

the best thing about watch the 2 videos back to back is seeing that the choreography is the same. Kathleen Marshal genius doing all over again!! i will die to go to London and seeing sutton doing the show this summer. BTW the number actually is 8 minutes long in the show.

[@kathleenhall2470]

I agree. Sutton Foster is a true professional and I love watching her performances.

[@mswitch936]

Im so envious that she’s reviving in the West End and I cannot go to see her! She taps so perfectly without barely moving her legs where everyone around her is high kicking to get the moves out. What a gem!

[@beltingtokra]

The One Show is iconic here in the UK, during the pandemic they've had loads of musical theatre performances. Love it. Also Sutton looks younger than I am and I'm 28 haha, and how can she dance so perfectly in those shoes?!? she's amazing I need to see it but corona makes things so complicated 😷 Did you know Georgie Ashford is in this too in London?

[@littlemissmel88]

So good! I love Anything Goes! Our theater program did it in high school and they had a live band on stage, which I got to be a part of! It honestly was so much fun to do that show and I really miss it.

[@NickiraFierce]

What I love most about your videos is the joy you have for theatre. Your reactions are always so lovely and wholesome, and I love it!

[@skatfan]

So glad that you covered both versions! Sutton is a treasure - I hope to get to see her live sometime.

[@richardmayora5310]

I hope you do too. She has star quality that hits the last row in the balcony. She was divine in Thoroughly Modern Millie.

[@mvarick1]

Thank you Marc, for your reaction to Sutton. It is so nice when one comes past encouraging takes on an artist. Please keep posting.

[@user-js3xr9ly2v]

In addition to agreeing with every praise you have heaped upon the great Sutton Foster, I would add that she has one of the most infectious smiles ever.

[@danielrobinson7350]

I love the tap battle between Brian Darcy James and Christian Borle in Bottom’s gonna be on top from Something Rotten. Speaking of Something Rotten, the Tony’s performance of ‘A Musical’ would be a great song for you to review.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Added to the list for sure.

[@robertofont6069]

Sutton always delivers. She has that clean, unblemished, classical Broadway sound that I love. I never have to worry if she is going make that high more which allows to relax and enjoy everything else she does. The ultimate triple threat. Thank you and I cannot wait (bit I am waiting) for that video that is all about you.

[@bcbock]

I saw this show live and it was every bit amazing as you could imagine. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes I was so happy.

[@mrkymrk310]

That entire ensemble at the Tony Awards, imagine the time it took to get all that precision and perfect formation changes.

[@sarahmccabe174]

I just saw the show tonight after being obsessed with Sutton and this production for ten years. It was as phenomenal as I could have hoped for.

[@matt1751]

I’ve seen Anything Goes in London on Saturday. She was absolutely spectacular!

[@joeswife]

Heading to NYC in May to see The Music Man. Can't wait to hear her live. She's amazing!

Shrek has a tap number too - Morning Person. Another brilliant performance by Sutton Foster.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

ah good point.

[@annabellehowe_3568]

@@MarcDanielPatrick omg please do morning person! Shrek was actually the musical that carried me to knowing sutton foster at all, the best thing about morning person is that she does that, and then within maybe 4 minutes of the show she's back into another song- shes mind blowing and I can't believe I have the chance to see her in anything goes in a few weeks!

[@RustySax1949]

@@MarcDanielPatrick - And to think she taps for a little over eight minutes in just this number eight times per week while wearing 2 1/2" heels!!

i really really love sutton came accross this also by accident three weeks ago i am determined to travel from ireland to go and see this show come what may

[@joycelang1]

I absolutely agree with every single word of praise you have for Sutton Foster. A truly phenomenal performer. She makes it seem so natural and easy that anybody should be able to do this. Heh. NOT! I am forever in awe of anyone that can perform those kind of demanding, grueling numbers in a live performance eight times a week. Let alone perform with such consistency, style and genuineness. I am a forever Sutton Foster ardent fan. And I can’t wait til the movie comes out. 😍

[@kurosawa3002]

Thanks for another great video and thank you for your positivity - so many channels go down the negativity route and I love that you don’t and that any criticism you make is thought out and explained. In a world of negativity this is a joy - and now more than ever we need musical theatre. On a separate note, I came across a movie that May pique your interest if you have not already seen it. To set it up. What could be better than a Christmas movie; a Christmas musical. How can you make that even better? A Christmas musical set in a Zombie apocalypse (a zombie, Christmas musical if you will) - “Anna and the Apocalypse”. Interesting film with what I found to be nice catchy songs. Worth a brief watch at the very least. Thanks again.

[@AnnieC64]

I’m seeing the show in London on the 31st. Can’t wait!!

[@trudishaw3430]

She really seems to love what she does. That always enhances the performance.

[@kathybove2718]

Love the One Show. Michael Ball is on it occasionally... Co- hosting at times, too. This video was incredible. I used to live to watch the old movies with tap dancing, Donald O'Connor, James Cagney, Gene Kelly, etc. I enjoyed watching this so much! Thanks!

[@fbueller]

I have been laughing at you smiling throughout the whole performance. That is my exact reaction every time I watch the original video myself! LOL

[@winifredjones300]

Just catching up with your channel. Thankyou. It doesn’t matter how many different videos I watch her singing this. She’s absolutely on point every time and as a fresh as a daisy. You’re so right she is perfect, a natural for this character. Not to mention the other dancers.. the way she flirts with sailors, it’s everything a big number requires.

[@alanagreaves1303]

Gosh, she makes it look so effortless! A true master

[@laineyg6]

This was amazing. I wish you would cover something from Crazy For You. I saw it many years ago, and I never hear anything about it. The amazing energy and song-and-dance is phenomenal. This performance by Sutton Foster was flawless. I'd love to see a revival as well.

[@prawnio21]

I went to see her in anything goes on Sunday (25/7/21) she was unbelievable and by far my favourite musical actress (sorry idina, youve been topped, sutton, you're the top) i am totally down for the movie version of this with sutton in the spotlight, if i lived in london i would be there every night, travelled 3 1/2hrs each way just to see this and well worth the 7hrs drive for an amazing show its been nearly a week and im still grinning from ear to ear and got to see her after giving hugs and kisses to her adorable daughter!!!!!!

[@colonyofrats4193]

I’ve booked tickets to see this!

[@kaycookson1737]

Actually, "Mean Girls" has a tap break in it ("Stop"). There's a video of it on their channel.

I was able to see Anything Goes in person back in 2011 and it was even better in person. I agree- she is an absolutely incredible performer. I love seeing you discuss some of the classic songs. I’d love to hear your thoughts on Close Every Door.

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

Such a showstopping number! There are so many versions of this production's Anything Goes number that it's a rabbit hole I love falling down. A rehearsal, a fan video from the balcony...fall away! I have seen Sutton do it on Bway and Rachel York on tour plus two local youth theater programs perform it. Oh and Patti LuPone way back! Definitely a happy musical spot for me! Never enough tap dance!

[@terrym540]

A film of the London stage show was broadcast by the BBC on Boxing Day, so one had the opportunity to record it. For anyone with access to the BBC iPlayer it is available to stream.

[@Aaren_B]

I get to see her next week I am so excited :D

I don't think I've ever seen anything that she did or does that was not outstanding and this is certainly no exception! Loved your comments and loved the video!

[@dandyspruce3760]

Saw her in London in her last week and she was awesome. The anything goes no was awesome and the revival is great. The recorded version I just watched on bbc4 is now on BBC iPlayer…. Enjoy!!!

[@maziejenn]

Sutton is an absolute QUEEN 🙌 One of my dear friends, Colin Donnell, played Billy Crocker in this show alongside Sutton on Broadway. You should do a reaction video of one of his performances. I’ll even bribe you to make it SUPER mean and critical (at least for the first minute or so) just to mess with him a bit 😂

First off I love your channel. Now on to Sutton. Even at the age of ten everyone knew she was going to be special. I was in Grease with here and her brother Hunter in the Augusta Players in 1986. She was incredible then as she is now. Lets not forget Hunter either......he can hold is own too. Keep up the great work!!!

Wow. Thanks. I've never seen Foster do anything goes. She was 😉 amazing.

[@fc8240]

Ps... she was great in both, but she looked younger. Pun intended. Lol.

[@smlb1352]

You should react to I Know it's Today from Shrek the Musical. Sutton is so amazing bringing this unhinged aspect to the character while singing soo clearly

[@rixx46]

I think when she does that nasal thing in her vocals, (in these OLD songs) she's channelling Merman's delivery from the 1936 movie. Many years ago, I saw GINGER ROGERS in a touring revival with Sid Ceaser in 81 (I think!) It wasn't pretty... but it was fun to see her on stage.

[@anthonyquarles5762]

Did Marc react to Patti LuPone’s version?? Love it!!! Love Sutton too.

[@cassiegleek1656]

I had the privilege of getting to see her with Hugh Jackman in The Music Man. It was amazing. Such a diverse crowd. Broadway people, like me, were there for Sutton and the rest were there for Hugh. They were both phenomenal though.

I was such a huuuuuuuuge fan of her ‘11 Tony award performance I scored tickets to her West End debut and I absolutely agree about Britain and their love of musical theater When I can’t score tickets in New York I always can get great seats in West End theatre. Sutton Foster is a national treasure

[@dominiquewong4706]

She had six nominations already. Also Anything goes is going to be revived and opened in West End tomorrow with Sutton foster as the lead. I mean 46 and still able to tap dance and belt is just amazing. Really hope that West End can make a professional shooting of the whole show on stage. She is really a once in a life time actor and the world will lose so much if this is not on screen.
