How tall is Sutton Foster, I heard a remark once that she was taller than the Maruis she played opposite of on Broadway? Does anyone know?

Christian Borle seemed VERY short to me when I saw him in Millie last...

Did you see when she and Jen Cody were on A Makeover Story? That was funny, watching them walk next to each other.

hahaha i'm pretty sure she's 5'9"... I loved that episode of a makeover story. It was sooo cute. I taped it, but Wicked_Elphie has my tape. If you're reading this, dear, I would like that back eventually... lol

How old is she anyway?

Yes, she's tall considering Broadway is the land of the munchkins. All the guys as well as the gals are "vertically challenged". Feel free to use your own non politically correct word instead. Most of the men are under 5'8 and most of the "tall" girls are all of 5'4" IF they're not lying. In my business, that's unheard of.

She is 5"9 and and as of a couple of weeks ago, "old and gray at 29 "

Yeah, when I saw her outside the stage door she was a bit taller than me, and I tower over most of my friends at 5'7 1/2" (its hard being a tall girl in theater lol) Anyone have a theory as to why so many people on Broadway are "munchins", so to speak?

Actually DD, Cerveris and Cantone barely hit 5'6", and that's plain short for a man. I'm not saying it's just musical theater, all the movie stars are munchkins too, they just have high paid publicists to lie for them and tack on about 4 inches to their frames and keep the shoe lifts under wraps.

I was hoping "Sutton Foster ... Tall" was the name of the sequel to that new movie starring The Rock.

Sutton is shorter than me (I am almost 5'11 inches).

She's 5'9....even in my 4 inch heels she towered over me!

She's tall enough to be his mother.

"Wicked" is the cast of the midgets too! LOL. Everyone looks so tall, but its the Cheno Effect...becuase she's 4'11", she makes everyone look tall. Idina was like 3 inches taller and I'm 5'2", and Michelle Federer was as tall as me! Yay for shorties!

I'm 6 foot 5.

Everyone on Broadway is short.

What other women on Broadway are tall (like 5'7"+)? I know Sutton is tall (obviously) and Natalie Venetia Belcon (Gary Coleman of Ave. Q) is fairly tall as well. I'm 5'8" and I always seem to be taller than actresses I see at the stage door. Is it much harder for taller women to be cast in shows?

[EponineThenardier]

Posted: 4/14/04 at 5:06pm

I hope not! I'm 5'10!

Well JohnPopa I think your taller than everyone!

Posted: 4/14/04 at 5:18pm

so, 4'11" is considered being a "midget"? =) I didn't know that so many Broadway people are short!! Good news for me, since i' under 5 feet too! All you tall people need to stop wearing shoes or something.....

[NYCbabe3789]

Almost the entire female cast of WICKED are short. All of them. I don't even think Kristin is the shortest. Don't know how short Idina is, but she's pretty tiny too. She looks taller onstage than she really is.
