Let's see... I'm like 5'2" and when I met Idina I was wearing three about three-inch heels, making me about her height. On stage, she looks MUCH taller thank she really is.
I was "typed out" of a show recently because the leading man was 5'5 (I'm 5'8 in flats).... to tall for Broadway to short for modeling (j/k) but if it's any help when I met Sutton I was wearing heels so I was 5'10, I would estimate she is around 5'7.
4 seconds ago on broadwayworld.com radio, Sutton said she was exactly 5'9, but she thinks she's shrinking---so that's the final answer, folks, from Ms. Foster herself.
I spotted this thread, saw the title and went "Psh! Well duh! Of course Sutton is tall." I then clicked on the title and realized it was a very very old thread that I had started. Oops.
