She rose to fame in theater with acclaimed performances in productions like Thoroughly Modern Millie, which earned her a Tony Award in 2002, and Anything Goes, for which she won another Tony in 2011.
On television, she gained popularity on the series Younger, where she played the main character, Liza Miller, a 40-year-old woman pretending to be younger to land a job in publishing. Sutton also appeared in series like Bunheads and made guest appearances on Gilmore Girls.
Her career is marked by versatility, encompassing both drama and comedy, as well as her talent for dance and singing, which has made her a well-established star on stage and screen.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster shared the stage on Broadway in the production of The Music Man, one of the most iconic musicals in American theater. Premiering in 2021, this highly anticipated production starred Jackman as Harold Hill, the charming and scheming salesman, while Foster played Marian Paroo, the local librarian and Hill’s love interest.
This collaboration was a major box office success, in part due to Jackman’s popularity, already well-known for his work in films like Wolverine and Les Misérables, and Foster’s musical and theatrical talent, already established on Broadway.
The chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster and their musical talent were widely praised by critics and audiences alike, making The Music Man one of Broadway’s biggest hits in recent years. Deborra-Lee Furness, Jackman’s ex-wife, revealed that she had already suspected a possible involvement between the actor and Sutton Foster before the Wolverine & Deadpool star’s divorce in 2023.
