This weekend, Melis, Eric, and I took a whirlwind trip to NYC to see Sutton Foster's final performance in Anything Goes. Oh man, it was so good. She earned every bit of that Tony.
The tap dancing! The Cole Porter songs! The adorable guys in sailor uniforms! Marvelous, just marvelous.
When Sutton first took the stage, the show had to stop for the enormous applause that went on and on. There was a standing ovation at the act break and a standing ovation in the middle of act 2 and of course another one at the end. The cast, led by Joel Grey, sang the song "Friendship" to her at the end of the show. It was all just lovely.
As Mr. Porter would say, delightful, delicious, delovely!

This really makes me want to go to YouTube and rewatch her performance on the Tony Awards last year. Which I will be doing in exactly 4 seconds.
Maggie's class is doing a tap dance to Anything Goes! (She's a sailor)
Ooh! I can't wait to see her perform!
