Sutton Foster and "The Revenant... on Ice!"
Sunday, January 17, 2016 at 11:40AM 
NPR's funny "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me" podcast welcomed Sutton Foster as its special guest this week. She's on the promotional circuit for the second season of her TV Land sitcom "Younger" (which she is amazing on though that won't surprise anyone who has ever seen her in anything). They tease her about soddering tap shoes to her feet, her education (she quit school for shows... multiple times), and her "Triple Threat" status as someone who excels at singing, dancing and acting.
Because Sutton has starred in so many Broadway musical adaptations of movies, they also ask her about the Oscar hopefuls.
Host: They just named the Oscars. Do you think we're going to have musicals of Spotlight or The Revenant?
Sutton Foster: That would be interesting... "The Revenant: on Ice!"
Host: It's amazing what they can get a bear to do these days."
LOL.

Excuse me, is that geekalicious man with her in the photo Nico Tortorella? Maybe I should start watching that show...
Paul - yes he's her boyfriend on the show
Darren Star's shows are cast so well. Whenever I watch Younger, I think, oh of course, if you want an actress who can play younger than her age, hire a great song and dance stage actress. Foster's movement is so full of life and quick grace. She looks like she has boundless reserves of optimistic energy. And her co-stars are lots of fun too.
adri - that's a great point.i hadn't thought about why she appears so youthful but that's a huge part of it. have you ever seen her on stage. she's just a tremendous live performer. that vitality is mesmerizing.
