On Friday night, The New York Pops continued its 31st season with two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster in her solo debut at Carnegie Hall. Among other musical standards, Foster reprised her unforgettable performances of "Anything Goes" and "I Get a Kick Out of You" from her Tony Award-winning turn as Reno Sweeney in the Cole Porter classic. She also offered her own take on "Down with Love," made famous by Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. Foster was joined by special guest artists Joshua Henry and Megan McGinnis, who sang the showstopper "Let It Sing" from Violet, and the touching "Neverland" from Peter Pan.
BroadwayWorld was there for the special concert, and below you can check out clips of "Anything Goes," "Fit as a Fiddle," "Sunshine on My Shoulders," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," and "A Change is Gonna Come."
