Sutton visited [title of show] after their preview performance at the Lyceum Theatre on July 8! Broadway.com says "In fact, the gathering could've easily been mistaken for a Drowsy Chaperone reunion. Sutton Foster was there, fresh from her final performance of Young Frankenstein, as was her former Drowsy co-star Edward Hibbert. What's the connection? Drowsy producer Kevin McCollum is currently putting his weight behind [title of show]. See who else was on hand at the preview!"
Happy viewing!
