What actually happened during this skit? I read a description of it, but the description sounded a little too...strange, yet strangely hysterical. So for all people at Easter Bonnet-what happened?
Sutton Foster stood on stage in the dark and slowly pivoted toward the audience in a classic "Little Women" gown...The lights suddenly illuminated to reveal Sutton with a beer can and drunken expression...She then acted increbibly trashy and screamed vulgar things such as "I'm astonishing!"...Then, the clothes flew off as she unfastened the gown to reveal bloomers in a "classic American" striptease...I'm telling you this was sheer brilliance and I was DYING in my seat- The skit continued during breaks between other shows' skits about two more times in which the last, Sutton passed out and Maureen McGovern strutted on stage with the coveted bonnet and sang "Morning After" as Sutton jumped to her feet and screamed "F**K YEAH! Morning After!"
I laughed so hard that tears were rolling down my face- It was perfection...
wahaha the beer can! i totally forgot. i'm tearing...

Definately the funniest perfromance of the whole show. Especially since it seemed so out of character for Sutton, but she did it so well! I loved how Cheyenne introduced the cast of 12 Angry Men, then Sutton came out to do the first part of her "striptease." When she left stage, Cheyenne came back out and said something like "Obviously that wasn't 12 Angry Men, more like 1 Angry Woman."
