I've met her a handful of times at parties, closing of TABOO, etc. She's wonderfully personable and down to earth,

I spoke to her briefly at the Stage Door after Chaperone. She was one of the nicest, most down-to-earth person I have ever met, even if it was only for about 5 minutes.

Not much help, but something.

I did a recording session with her for "Jule Styne in Hollyood." She's a neat lady.

I have met her at a couple of functions. She is a truly classy lady. A real supporter of the Arts, on all levels. She remembers faces, and knows that her fans are what made her what she is today. Ever notice how she always responds?? Class act!

I met her at the broadway flee market this year. She is so nice and even though I didn't really get to say much to her because of the line she is genuinely nice, and sweet and seems to really appreciate what you say.

Flea market as well, and she's adorable and so chatty :)

I've met Sutton a few times and we've had some really great conversations. She's about the cutest and nicest person ever, but I tell you, every time I just think about how tall she is.

I met her at the Flea Market last year and she is amazingly friendly and sweet.

I met her after Little Women and it was closing and she had somewhere she had to be. But she said she'd get to everyone in 10 minutes. And boy she did!

I also "met" her after a performance of Chaperone and honestly at first I didn’t recognize her. She seemed so normal in her sweat suit I almost missed her. But what I loved is that she was the one asking all the questions like were we're from and just lil stuff like that. Very sweet wit a big heart. Very approachable.

Also met her at the flea market. Very sweet, she even signed my daughter's poster with a great big "Happy Birthday!!"

I met her at the Tony awards last year. We spoke for a little bit. If it answers your question, she was really sweet.

That is funny - I was surprised at how tall she was in person!

I talked to her in the lobby at the La Jolla Playhouse after Thoroughly Modern Millie. I told her I had really enjoyed the show and had also seen her as Eponine.

She asked my name and then gave me hers, which I thought was cute. :) She seemed very sweet and goofy in an endearing sort of way. I haven't seen her (on or off-stage) since, but I want to again!

LizzieCurry, she did the same thing to me, it was so cute. The second time I met her was on a street corner (that sounds wrong somehow) and I said hi, and she recognized me from the Millie stagedoor, asked my name, and when I told her she said, "Hi! Sutton." I died. Cutest thing ever.

Dammit it seems like everyone has met her except me wtf! =(

She's such a sweetheart, and so adorable. I'm dead shy, and she was just so nice and such a chatterbox that I was actually chatting away with her, much to the astonishment of my mother. i mentioned something about the LW website (somjething I had posted), and she goes "OH!! I remember that! Hi!"

Seymour, I haven't met her either. If it makes ya feel any better. Although, between her and Hunter, I'm lovin' some Fosters. Plus, they both have such cool names.

I had the pleasure of covering a concert in Philly that included Sutton, Dee Hoty and Matt Bogart a few years ago. I was invited in for rehearsals, interviews and photos for the day.

What impressed me the most about Sutton is her honesty and humility. She also seems very postive and dedicated to her work. She is very unjaded, in that she still feels connected to the real world and what it takes to be your best. She is flattered and surprised that many young people look up to her as a role model.

Here's the link to the interview, if you'd like to read it.

I met her at the Millie Tony Party.
She is charming. I also met her at The Drama Desk awards and on the street near Lincoln Center when her BORLE was in a show at Lincoln Center.
She is very nice and very talented.
Although I was most impressed with Gavin at the Millie Tony party. He was so friendly.

I think I've "met" her twice at two stage doors, and met her at the actor's fund performance of "Jersey Boys." She is, indeed, a very down-to-earth lady. She deserves every ounce of success she's been graced with.
