An accomplished comedienne, an emotionally powerful actress, and a gifted vocalist worthy of large marquees, Foster allowed all three to be fully experienced live in her exquisite showcase An Evening with Sutton Foster, a song collection of her Broadway hits, personal favorites, and selections from her debut solo album Wish. As part of the Orange County Performing Arts Center's Cabaret Series--playing at the Samueli Theater until Sunday, January 9--Foster essentially offers up a master class in entertaining by providing her audience with a healthy dose of musical evidence as to why she has spent most of the past decade as Broadway's go-to darling. Whether delivering witty or touching lyrics, slipping out charmingly hilarious quips, or belting the bejeesus out of one of her signature tunes, Foster does not disappoint in her 1 hour-and-20-minute set.
