The show is filled with Broadway performers in various roles throughout the seasons. Miriam Shore was the original Yitzhak in Hedwig. Sutton Foster Is a Broadway legend

Hahah I'm a massive Broadway fan and Sutton Foster is a legend in those circles. Her being in Younger is what convinced me to watch it because Broadway is usually not very accessible for me as an international fan other than cast albums.

She was also supposed to be on Broadway this fall opposite Hugh Jackman in The Music Man but then COVID happened.

Wasn’t she also is a ballerina show where she worked for her mother in law after her husband died very early in their marriage?

[u/wholocked309]

Yes! She is phenomenal! I first watch Younger because I love her Broadway works so much.

[u/[deleted]]

I didn't know either! her character is so dorky (but cute) and irl sutton is this woman with powerful vocals and charming

[u/anawkwardsomeone]

I didn’t know it either but I watched a group interview and apparently she’s pretty accomplished. I couldn’t tell if it was a joke but the rest of the cast seemed annoyed/threatened about it lol!

[u/builtthiscityon]

She’s a brilliant singer !

Sutton Foster has been my favorite broadway performer FOR years, and when I saw my mom watching younger I FREAKED out- and now I’ve been obsessed with Younger for these past four years.

Sutton Foster is a legend in the Broadway community and her rise to prominence is a pretty cool story. There's more to it than this but I'll share the truncated version. Sutton was cast as an understudy/ensemble member in Thoroughly Modern Millie on Broadway. She was pretty much 100% unknown. For various reasons (still left to speculation, mainly just due to the fact that she wasn't a good fit) the actress initially cast in the leading role of Millie was let go from the production. In what was considered a massive gamble, Sutton was cast as the lead. Everyone thought this was crazy since she was a totally unknown and very young ensemble girl. She blew everyone away and wound up winning the Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Musical - it totally catapulted her into fame.

Her ex husband, Christian Borle (who played Don on Younger, the journalist who she was writing a piece for) is also a Broadway star, having won two Tonys himself. They've been divorced for years but are still best friends and have appeared together as a couple in "Younger" and "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" even after being divorced.
