Happy Birthday, Sutton Foster!
I wish I had a bootleg of the 2024 Broadway cast (because I KNOW it's out there). But this'll do in the meantime ig.

Sorry for the disappointment that it took me 19 days to watch Once Upon a Mattress this year. Ha
In my defense I’ve gotten my fix by auditioning for a local production. Claire Nightingale of Samarkand and Lady Lucille coming Spring ‘26.I really wanna get better at writing reviews this year, but I feel so unncreative. Help encouraged.
