My Take
My respect for Sutton Foster comes from the fact that she reached the summit through live theater, not screens. Two Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical is a monster-tier honor on Broadway, earned eight shows a week in front of breathing audiences. From Statesboro, Georgia through Carnegie Mellon, she built a craft that can't be fixed in the edit. Many in Japan met her through the series Younger, but her true home is clearly the stage. I read her Pisces sensitivity in both her singing and her acting. I hold performers who win with no second takes in the highest regard, and she is exactly that kind.
