To take home her third Tony, Foster will have to best the category frontrunner Sharon D. Helen Shaw ( Vulture) wrote that Foster and Jackman both “radiate Golden Age glamour” and praised the actress as “a true musical-theater miracle.” Tim Teeman ( Daily Beast) noted how this revival “becomes Marian’s show,” adding, “It is Sutton Foster who ultimately commands our attention and applause… Foster not only sings beautifully, she acts this role perfectly.” SEE our review roundup and Tony Awards analysis of ‘The Music Man’Įven though critics weren’t entirely enamored with this production of “The Music Man,” most had praise for Foster. She earned one more nomination in between 20, when she netted her seventh for “The Music Man.” She went on to land nominations for “Little Women,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” and “Shrek The Musical” before taking home her second trophy in 2011 for a revival of “Anything Goes” directed by Kathleen Marshall. She received her first recognition in 2002 for “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” for which she took home her first prize. The actress has earned every single one of her seven nominations in this category. If Foster wins her third Tony this year, she would tie Broadway icons Mary Martin and Gwen Verdon with three wins for Best Actress in a Musical only Angela Lansbury has more with four. She earned the seventh nomination of her career for the role in the Actress in a Musical category, even though Barbara Cook, who originated the part, won the Tony in Featured Actress in 1958 Rebecca Luker, who played Marian in the most recent revival, earned a bid in Actress in 2000. Foster contends this year for her turn as Marian Paroo, the librarian in River City who Jackman’s Harold Hill tries to woo.
