Sutton Foster Sings From Her CD WISH At Feinstein's 4/6, 20

FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine, and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post, continues its 10th Anniversary season with the debut of Tony Award winning Broadway star Sutton Foster for two nights only, April 6 and April 20.

For her first-ever performance at Feinstein's, Foster will sing selections from her recently-released solo CD "Wish" on Ghostlight Records, which was called "an essential addition to any theater lover's collection" by NY1 News. Songs include "Up on the Roof," "Once Upon a Time" and "Flight" (in which she will be joined by her Little Women co-star, Megan McGinnis). After her recent show at the Lincoln Center American Songbook Series, Variety raved "Foster put on a dazzling display, amply demonstrating why she is Broadway's busiest musical comedy star" and The New York Times praised "her special blend of voice and sensibility." Musical Director Michael Rafter will lead a four-piece band. Both shows will be at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).

Sutton Foster is currently starring on Broadway as Princess Fiona in Shrek: The Musical. She recently starred on Broadway as Inga in the new Mel Brooks musical, Young Frankenstein. Prior to that, Sutton was Janet Van De Graff in The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations, LA Ovation Award) and Jo March in Little Women: The Musical (2005 Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle Award nominations). She is the recipient of the 2002 Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Astaire Awards for her performance as Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie, a role she created in the 2000 La Jolla Playhouse premiere.

Other Broadway credits include Les Miserables, Annie, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Grease! Regional productions include What the World Needs Now (Old Globe), Dorian (Goodspeed), The Three Musketeers (San Jose Musical Theater), Nellie Forbush in South Pacific and Sally in Me and My Girl (both at Pittsburgh CLO). She has toured nationally in The Will Rogers Follies, Les Miserables, and Grease!. She has appeared as Svetlana in Chess in Concert and as the "I'm the Greatest Star" Fanny Brice in Funny Girl in Concert, both Actors Fund of America benefits. On television, Sutton recently guest starred on the Disney Channel's "Johnny and the Sprites," and on several episodes of the HBO series "The Flight of the Conchords."
