Broadway’s Light
Sutton Foster is what musical comedy was made for, the cheery antidote to what ails us. From the first time we saw her, at the Marquis Theatre in 2002, starring in the flapper-era musical Thoroughly Modern Millie, rat-a-tat tap-dancing up a storm as the stenographer with matrimony on her mind (a role originated by Julie Andrews in the 1967 movie romp), we knew this Foster kid was aces. She had spunk. She had pizzazz. She had the pipes to put a song through the uprights and the dance chops to drive a number around the block. And she had something more: an adorability that immediately got an audience on her side from the first wall-to-wall smile. READ ON
On April 28, Sutton Foster, center, presents and stars in Bring Me to Light, a concert special recorded at New York’s City Center featuring musical guests (from left) Wren Rivera, Raúl Esparza, Kelli O’Hara, and Joaquina Kalukango.

Big Bird Goes Blue
The annual Roof Garden Commission at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been a highlight of New York summers since 2013. Its best installations engage with the site’s sweeping views of Central Park and the city beyond, but this year’s offering does something I wouldn’t have thought possible: it brings out the latent whimsy of Midtown Manhattan’s skyline, now dominated by the spindly, skeletal condominiums of Billionaires’ Row.
