+Kaio Scott In interviews she says this was her "Breakout" role. She had a few smaller roles, and understudied some big roles but this was her first Lead Character on Broadway.
+Kaio Scott , I had no idea who she was when I first saw this show. As the show progressed, I thought, "Where did they FIND this amazing girl?" You can bet that people jumped up and applauded when she came out for the curtain call. I saw this show 3 times on Broadway. One of the best musicals that I ever saw in my 15 years living in NYC. It was perfect.
+LadyAegle Prior before Millie, she was a replacement Sandy in the 1994 revival of Grease, the 20th Anniversary of ANNIE (as the Star To Be), and Eponine in Les Miz. Originally she was offered Les Miz on Broadway but decided to do the World Premiere of Throughly Modern Millie in La Jolla. She originally was in the Ensemble and understudied Millie. However, Erin Dilly got a terrible cold and dropped out of the show. Sutton moved from the chorus to the starring role.
It should be mandatory that if a Broadway show is closing they should have it professionally shot. The producers have any idea how many people still would like to see that show and just didn't see it because they didn't have the opportunity, and would buy a DVD of it? Or the people who saw the show and loved it and would like to have it forever with them?
@@PRACTICALLYTIME Some shows like this don't really get the full traveling treatment and probably never will. This is one of those shows that is so old that it is probably destined to just make the mandatory rounds as a high school musical.
M. Harvey I actually think she was a BETTER fit for the role than Julie Andrews - I find her voice much more appropriate for the 20’s jazz style. Julie Andrews is perfect for the more classical style roles that made her famous. Also Sutton is obviously more of a dancer!
Wow, what a great memory. My wife and I went to see this shortly after Sutton won the Tony. I didn't know any of her work. After the show at the Marriott, we were so impressed by her talent, we had to meet her. We waited for her and she was very shy but very nice. I've followed her work since that night. I met her once more in Chicago a couple years back, just before Anything Goes. She did a cabaret style night and was terrific. Went to see here closing week in Anything Goes, what a pro!!!
If you can do such a fabulous job as an actress, singer..and still be really nice..a good person..well, that is the secret to success... There are plenty of talented people who are not nice...and they do not go as far as Sutton....
I am in love with Sutton Foster. I loved her in "Anything Goes" and now I found "Thoroughly Modern Millie", discovering how she got this part. I love her! I cannot believe her story, but she was definitely perfect. Her voice, I could listen to all day. Doesn't miss a note. I have the song, "Gimmie Gimmie" stuck in my head all day!
It’s pretty interesting to note that this show not only gave Sutton Foster her big break, but it also greatly improved the profiles of Gavin Creel and Marc Kudisch
I absolutely love this musical. I can't wait to perform the part of Millie in February! I just need to trade vocal chords with Sutton Foster for 3 days...
Sutton Foster is just my favorite person and my inspiration to musical theatre. She has a voice of an angel and is able to belt her face off, she’s an amazing, fiery actress, and her dancing is so ON POINT. She’s also such an amazing down to earth person. She’s won two tonys and been nominated for several others but still is so humble.
I'm playing Millie and we open in two weeks!! I have yet to see Sutton play Millie other than her performances on talk shows. I have to inspire my character off the best!!!!! ❤️
Loved this show. I saw it with my folks during our first visit to New York City on a Broadway Show tour. Such a happy memory. We saw The Producers, Urine Town and this. Great show to see on your NYC experience. My mom just recently died 3 weeks ago, but seeing this reminds me of the magic time we had together. Thanks for posting.
We did this show for our Spring musical except in the midwest we dont have many chinese people, let alone in drama, so we instead changed Meers' minions to Bernardo and Carlos (hispanic ethnicity) and it was really great. So many fond memories!
Some schools just cast white people as the Chinese brothers. You don't have to change the ethnicity just because you don't have the proper representation of it in a high school production lol.
Harriet Harris is a comedic gem. She gave me one the biggest, longest-lasting laughs I've ever had in the theater when I saw this live. My giggles went on all through the next scene. Thanks for posting.
The Chinese dudes went from speaking Cantonese to singing in Chinese. I speak Mandarin Chinese and I understood only 10% of what they were singing. That aside, LOVE SUTTON AND GAVIN!
Oh, there's much worse, but for the time this is pretty decent. There's worse videos from the past year, plus it's clear this guy's filming more for fun and their own personal entertainment.
@@edieroth I mean also to be fair, CZcams didn't exist when this show came out, or even when it closed I think. And with many shows that come out when this did, if not before, it is difficult to find many bootlegs (The Wild Party, The Secret Garden, etc). If a show was still running to this year but opened before the mid 2000s, then yeah there will likely be many bootlegs of it on here. This also doesn't apply to every show lol. It's been tricky sometimes to find certain modern (no pun intended haha) shows on here, so it probably just depends on the show itself (including popularity) , and yeah, also when it came out lol
it’s not. it’s well filmed. he’s got a great seat for filming and he films the majority of what’s going on and zooms in and out. the quality, well, it’s from 2002!!! and it’s actually not the worst quality for 2002. there is MUCH MUCH MUCH worse. audio isn’t bad either. the only bad thing about the bootleg is the camera guy calling the ladies on Stage ”sluts”. i still think he’s cool for filming this though.
omg i loved this musical, as a kid my mom worked on it omg i love this and Sutton your absolutly amazing :):):)I LOVE THIS MUSICAL :):):):):): THANKS YOU SOOO MUCH MISSPOOCHSMOOCH
Did they have subtitles for the Cantonese? Seems like the audience was reacting to it pretty well (I speak the language, so I got the jokes and stuff).
Yeah, the twins speak in Cantonese and sing in Mandarin. I speak neither, but I was in the play at my camp and it was said in the script what languages they speak.
Just wasn't filmed on the right night: some of us knew, and at the end of the show everyone there recognized. you could tell by the standing ovation that didn't end..
Like so many others, my school is doing it this year. I'm going to be a background character, but I don't mind. I just wanna know who was casted for who. The auditions were awhile ago, but I never checked the results ^^;
Oh my days. This is when people were just discovering who Sutton was. 🥰 The girl still got it. So incredibly talented in so many ways. Have to say though, the quick change in the title song gave me anxiety. Especially the wig.
I'm also Mrs. Meers, and the Choreographer (who also happens to be my dance teacher) is putting me in the opening number... I have to get ready for Meersie in
No one:
Not a single soul:
Jonathan Groff watching this at 3 am: Yasssss Sutton!!!
Amazing how nobody clapped when Sutton appeared. Now she's one of the most famous modern Broadway actresses of the decade.
Kaio Scott wasn't this one of her first big roles?
I think it was. It was her first Tony win.

Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure the New York Public Library has a collection of Broadway shows. You just can't reproduce them or buy a copy.
duck yes actually! i’m playing jimmy right now in our schools production
They will make more money selling the rights to theaters to perform them.
I swear Sutton makes eye contact with the camera like 90 times I'm living
Sameeeeee
Beth Anderson it’s probably because it’s illegal to record the show
Sutton actually sounds UNREAL. Not a single note is out of place.
I just realized that I really need Jeremy Jordan as Jimmy. I need it. He would be so good as Jimmy.
Hannah Barch holy frick YES
YES
Hannah Barch corey cott as jimmy too💔💔💔
Broadway Revival Dreamcast :)
Yesssss!
SUTTON FOSTER IS LITERALLY A GODDESS WHO WAS SENT FROM HEAVEN TO BROADWAY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
Ikr!
But she is so not Julie Andrews, just saying
M. Harvey I actually think she was a BETTER fit for the role than Julie Andrews - I find her voice much more appropriate for the 20’s jazz style. Julie Andrews is perfect for the more classical style roles that made her famous. Also Sutton is obviously more of a dancer!
WHERES THE LIE
"that dress looks like asdfasdfxcvkjlh*whisper*"
I really wish I knew what was whispered. XD
So this is how Jonathan Groff fell in love with both Sutton Foster and Gavin Creel. Fabulous show! True talent!
What even is Gavin Creel i'm convinced he is superhuman nobody is that good he's just so sososo amazing
*Who
I have to sing all the jimmy songs cause i play jimmyu in thisshow at my school
Right? I don’t think he gets enough credit.
@@edymac2883 agreed. he’s also been the vocal inspo for SO many famous male Broadway stars like Aaron Tveit and Ben Platt (they’ve said so themselves)

Little did they know that with this show the chorus girl would become the leading lady of Broadway((((: Sutton Foster....simply amazing
Expert camera work i must say........
Beggars can't be choosers. Don't like their camera work? Maybe you should've seen the show when it came out.
@@hooey4362 I wasn't born yet jerk
@@michaelvino8679
That's your problem. Again, beggars can't be choosers. 👀
@@hooey4362 oof sorry i wasnt born before my parents were born, i guess thats my fault

Where did you manage to find Anything Goes?? Or did you see it live?
@@annabellehowe_3568such a late reply but it’s pro shot on BroadwayHD !
I’d rather watch a shaky professional cast over all the high school ones that are posted. Thank you for this.
The staging, acting, singing, choreography, orchestra, costume design, dang it the whole show is AMAZING!
1:09:37 right when they kiss the camera man says “that’s acting” hahahahaha
Did this one year ago for our high school musical, it was the greatest show our school had ever done
They really need to revive this show
It’s pretty interesting to note that this show not only gave Sutton Foster her big break, but it also greatly improved the profiles of Gavin Creel and Marc Kudisch

Sutton Foster appearing as Star-To-Be in Annie was the most prophetic casting choice in history.
"NYC, I give you fair warning!"
This so needs a revival
I'm playing Millie and we open in two weeks!! I have yet to see Sutton play Millie other than her performances on talk shows. I have to inspire my character off the best!!!!! ❤️

I'm so sorry about your mom! 😭
Oh my gosh! I did Urinetown for my musical last year we had the best cast and crew in the decades that our school has done performances!
So sorry for your loss!
what do I need with love was literally perfect
We did this show for our Spring musical except in the midwest we dont have many chinese people, let alone in drama, so we instead changed Meers' minions to Bernardo and Carlos (hispanic ethnicity) and it was really great. So many fond memories!
+Sammishark So did we
Sammishark My sister did my eyeliner to make me look like a Chinese person for Bun Foo

We had an Indian and a white boy play them. It really doesn’t matter as long as they can pronounce the language properly
53:20 YAAS!!!!!! GAVIN YAAAS!!!!
Gavin Creel's voice is so pretty????
true
And he still sounds that amazing in She Loves Me T___T
Avi DePano I know what is this sorcery
@@TheSpazzyBeing technique. also, his voice is more mature now. a singer’s voice is usually in it’s prime in their 30s-40s-50s, so!!
I'm so in love with this :D
And I swear I heard the cameraman say "Do you happen to have a brother?" to Jimmy at 54:10 xD
I hear it too
ME TOO!!!!!!!
Not everyone in Broadway is gay 😡
@@queenmedesa Who said they were? 😂
@@bunji_beans dude is damn mad at gays for no reason 💀
Gavin is freaking amazing oh my GOD
I saw this exact cast live 22 years ago on this very stage! I’m so excited to find this to see it again, been obsessed with this musical ever since ❤
My school is doing this musical and even though I got a side part, I'm extremely happy to be part of this awesome musical!
Currently backstage of doing this show right now😆
I just love that the bald guy dancing next to her in Speed Test is Casey Nicholaw
William Lowe I
This is 100000% my favorite musical/play/anything ever created
A star is born.
the way it's choreographed is so dynamic!
Many thanks for posting this. I've listened to the cast album many times; great to now see a performance.
My favorite Broadway show of all time. I wished I could have seen 10 more times. Sutton is the best!
I was Trevor Graydon. Best Role Ever.
Tommy Leahy any tips for doing the speed test? I'm starring as Trevor next month.
Tommy Leahy I was Bun Foo! It was interesting to learn a completely different language for such a great show!
My middle school did this play last year , it was amazing
We just had this play at y school and it was amazing:) Ive had Forget about the boy stuck in my head since it started(;
Gavin gives me life
I saw this on Broadway. Absolutely fabulous.
Harriet Harris is a comedic gem. She gave me one the biggest, longest-lasting laughs I've ever had in the theater when I saw this live. My giggles went on all through the next scene. Thanks for posting.
She's such a great actress!

tuesday is our first porformance and im so excited!! im a speed tapper and a pracilla girl!!! omg i cant wait
My high school did this like four years ago and it was honestly one of the best performances they have ever done. I love this show!
Thanks for posting! What a treat!
Just done TMM at our school, Hunter School of the Performing Arts and it was amazing
I'd make a comment about how this is the worst-filmed bootleg I've ever seen, but beggars can't be choosers...
Oh, there's much worse, but for the time this is pretty decent. There's worse videos from the past year, plus it's clear this guy's filming more for fun and their own personal entertainment.
ive been looking for another one of these for ages and there is just literally NO other TMM on broadway available :(
@@edieroth I mean also to be fair, CZcams didn't exist when this show came out, or even when it closed I think.

We did this last year fof our spring musical, i got Glannery :D loved it.
Ahaha when you rewatch an old musical and realise how awkward the accents are 😂
I love this show so much!!!!
thank you so much for putting this up! I love the show but have never seen the whole thing!
thank you thank you thank you! I'm Miss Dorothy this year and this is just what I needed!
I'm doing this for my high school play and I get to be Millie! I'm so excited!
Auditioning for this show in February! Wish me luck 💕
Just finished this show! never got to see the actors- I was under the stage the entire time!!
I wanna do this show more than anything and play Millie cause she is my dream role
This is great! Thanks so much!
Oh my god, thank you so much. I have been waiting for this FOREVER.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH 4 THIS!!!
I saw this in New York in early 2003 with this cast, and then saw the touring version. The New York version was vastly superior!!
We're doing this play at my high school this year and I'm going to try out!!!
You are an ANGEL for posting this
omg i loved this musical, as a kid my mom worked on it omg i love this and Sutton your absolutly amazing :):):)I LOVE THIS MUSICAL :):):):):): THANKS YOU SOOO MUCH MISSPOOCHSMOOCH

Just saw this at the Ogunquit Playhouse......with Sally Struthers as Mrs. Mears! Fabulous.
I'm playing Jimmy on the upcoming Thursday and Sunday. I'm super excited
I’m playing Millie and I’m so excited!
Thanks for this!!
Did they have subtitles for the Cantonese? Seems like the audience was reacting to it pretty well (I speak the language, so I got the jokes and stuff).
Yep, there's a board with translations along the top curtain line; you just can't see it very well in the video.
oh it was CANTONESE that's why I didn't understand it. I speak Mandarin XD
Yeah, the twins speak in Cantonese and sing in Mandarin. I speak neither, but I was in the play at my camp and it was said in the script what languages they speak.
ZomgItsTaelin They have the subtitles but the camera guy didn't show it
My school is doing this in the spring, and I really want to get a feel for the show, so as to pick out a good audition song.
Wish me luck on my Millie audition :)
did you get the part?
Did you audition yet
Just wasn't filmed on the right night: some of us knew, and at the end of the show everyone there recognized. you could tell by the standing ovation that didn't end..
I just realized how "What Do I Need With Love" is basically Jimmy saying I ain't no simp and then being like actually I am.
THANK YOUUUUUU!!
Like so many others, my school is doing it this year. I'm going to be a background character, but I don't mind. I just wanna know who was casted for who. The auditions were awhile ago, but I never checked the results ^^;
AMAZING
this is amazing and I love sutton and THE SPEED TEST YES
