The second act of Saturday night's Encores! Off-Center Jamboree presented a new twist on an old favorite.

Sutton Foster was on hand for a performance of one of her THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE showstoppers, "Forget About The Boy," but it wasn't exactly a recreation of her breakthrough Tony-winning performance.

This time it was her Jamboree co-star Jonathan Groff donning a Clara Bow wig to play the frustrated-in-love flapper, with Foster topped with the unique style worn by Anne L. Nathan as her supervisor Miss Flannery.

Photo evidence was provided for those who missed it.

Currently starring in TV Land's hit series "Younger," Sutton Foster will return to the stage this fall as dance hall hostess Charity Hope Valentine in The New Group's Off-Broadway production of Neil Simon, Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields' SWEET CHARITY, directed by Leigh Silverman and choreographed by Joshua Bergasse.

Jonathan Groff was Tony-nominated for his performance as King George in HAMILTON, and stars in "Looking: The Movie," scheduled to debut Saturday, July 23 (10:00-11:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

"Looking: The Movie" wraps up the story of three close friends living in San Francisco who explore the options available to a new generation of gay men seeking fulfillment in love and life. In the film, Patrick (Groff) returns to the city for the first time in almost a year to celebrate a momentous event with his old friends. In the process, he must face the unresolved relationships he left behind and make difficult choices about what's important to him.
