Last year, in a glowing review of Sutton Foster in concert, Stephen Holden of The New York Times said, "A barefoot country girl cradling a puppy and gazing blissfully into the blue sky, a sleeping princess in a moonlit bower who dreams of being kissed awake by Prince Charming: the corniest storybook mythology attaches itself to Sutton Foster as magically as dew appears on a spring flower and revives for a moment your silliest childhood fantasies of eternal innocence and happily ever after."

The tour schedule thus far is as follows:
New York, NY (June 15-26 at the Café Carlyle)
Stockbridge, MA (Aug. 22 at the Berkshire Theatre Festival)
Morristown, TN (Oct. 15 at the Encore Theatrical Company)
