Bid To Meet SWEET CHARITY's Sutton Foster, Support The New Group

Since her breakout 2002 Tony-winning performance in THROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, Sutton Foster has become one of Broadway's biggest stars of the 21st Century, ready to tackle brassy vehicles like ANYTHING GOES (her second Tony) or poignant musical dramas like VIOLET.

This autumn she takes on one of her biggest stage challenges yet, The New Group's Off-Broadway revival of the 1966 Neil Simon, Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields musical smash, SWEET CHARITY. The show was originally created by director/choreographer Bob Fosse for his wife, Broadway luminary Gwen Verdon, but Sutton Foster's sure to shine in the role in her own way.

The winner will receive 2 VIP seats for the performance, plus a photo-op with the cast at the opening night celebration.
