Sutton Foster Wins Special Award for Best Performance of the Entire Broadway Season!
Sutton Foster just won one of the biggest honors in the Broadway community!
The two-time Tony-winning actress was presented the Distinguished Performance Award during the 2022 Drama League Awards on Friday afternoon (May 20) in New York City.
The annual awards show honors just one acting performance for the entire theatrical season, encompassing all of Broadway and off-Broadway.
Sutton won the award for her performance in The Music Man and her co-star Hugh Jackman received the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre award. Actors can only win the Distinguished Performance Award once in their career and Hugh won almost 20 years ago for starring in Broadway’s The Boy From Oz, so he was ineligible for The Music Man.
