Georgia-born Sutton Foster has scooped two Tony Awards in her prestigious Broadway career as well as a nomination for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress In A Musical.

She has also clocked up a host of Broadway performances for roles in shows including Little Women, Grease, Shrek the Musical, Movie Man and Violet.

The mum-of-one has starred on the small-screen, too, with her first TV roles in comedies Bunheads, Younger and Flight of the Conchords.

Sutton also featured on US reality series Say Yes To The Dress in 2022 and, while she thought she had found the perfect frock, her pals likened her look to a "napkin."

Sutton told how she had the blessing of Carol Burnett to play the iconic role in the comedy and told TheBroadWayShowTV: "I would watch the Carol Burnett Show and The Muppet Show.

"In my mind, they were both on the same night, and I would watch them back to back.

"I always say I am part muppet, part Carol Burnett.

"She just always has been a role model for me so meeting her was surreal."

Fans were just as impressed with her performance with one commenting on Instagram: "I saw it last night (my first Broadway show ever) and you were INCREDIBLE."

A second put: "I saw it recently. Sutton was great. It was a true joy to watch.

"The entire cast was special and exceptional!!!! Go everybody!!!!!"
