Sutton Foster- Drowsy Promo Photoshopped?

Posted: 5/13/06 at 10:28pm

Does anyone else think Sutton's head looks super imposed in this newly updated promo shot for Drowsy?

Sutton Foster- Drowsy Promo Photoshopped?

Now I dont mean they put her head on the old shot of the same pose, because her foot is further away from the reporter in this one, but it just looks like her head is too small here in proportion to the rest of her body..

EDIT: One possible clue... if you look, the flowers seem to be split in half, like they are a combo of two images..

its entirely possible. you'd be suprised just how often photoshop comes in to play for most advertising photos.

I definitely think something about that shot looks off. I cringed when I saw it. It doesn't even look like Sutton. There are several pics of that same moment and none of the others are that wierd looking. If it's for advertising, I'd say it's worse than any of the others!

Her legs just don't match the body. Not saying they're not hers, but they are so out of proportion that it looks like she's a play-dough mutation!!!

It looks photoshopped. There looks like there's something sticking out of her neck, and the flowers definitely look off.

Not saying she can't, but if Sutton can't do a high kick , then she is not the triple threat everyone makes her out to be.

She can do the kick AND her head looks normal in this pic. I'd say it's MUCH better. Sorry it's so big; it's the desktop wallpaper from the site.

ljay, the kick is real, as seen in the press reel but my guess is that she couldn't hold her leg up there long enough to perfectly pose for the photo, so they added in a better face later.

That's understandable.

I gained more respect for Sutton after watching the DC opening night video, and she said she was obsessed with Patti LuPone's Being Alive. That is indeed an amazing vocal performance, by Patti.

Looks completely normal to me...

The second one... THAT looks normal. The first one makes her look really funny. Like she has a super-long neck. Try to imagine the length if her head wasn't slightly tilted forward- eeeep.

The first one is definitely "Photoshopped" and BADLY. Her head is about 90 percent of actual size. I don't think Sutton's been visiting any witch doctors lately... or any "shrinks."

And she looks more like an evil (young) Eileen Brennen in that shot than Sutton Foster... so I can't imagine why they would go to such (unfortunate) lengths to "better" it.

The other wallpaper shot below, is much better! Do you think Sutton complained about her expression in that one? I hope she didn't pick out this first "shrunken head" shot herself. It's creepy, even if it were done properly!

She kinda looks similar to the first one in the Broadway.com opening night video.

She doesn't really "kick". She lifts her leg up very slowly.

I think it looks normal. The best was Shoshana's much larger upper body over Idina's skinny little bottom. :)

Susan Egan (her replacement in MILLIE) did the high kick, so I assume she did, too.

Sutton does the kick.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

she definitley does the kick...

I think it is the quality of the photo.... or when they changed the size on a bad editor it could change the look

and they didn't take the LA photo and splice it together because she is slightly diffrent in that photo. I don't think it is Choreographed to be a kick, because a quick kick doesn't make sense with the music.

It's not a kick, per se, she slowly raises her leg like so: http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Video.aspx?ci=529136

It's in the opening montage.

"She doesn't really "kick". She lifts her leg up very slowly."

I'm not sure if you were saying this just for the record, or to say that it makes her less of a triple threat as someone had mentioned, however if your intentions were the latter I just wanted to acknowledge that 'lifting your leg very slowly' aka devlopes, are actually MUCH harder than just a kick, which would show she has more flexibility and muscular strength than someone who'd just kick. It takes much more strength and control to do it slowly and not have the momentum of a kick behind it.

If you were just stating that to set the record straight so people don't call it a kick, then ignore the above

I think it probably sounds the most probable that her face while holding that pose was not as 'promo' as the PR people wanted and so they photoshopped it.

Her neck looks heeeeouge in that pic! Love the second one though.

If I show you the darkness I hold inside, will you bring me to light?

the wallpaper pic is diffrent from the first photo...... look at the wig and her butt.... you can see her dance costume in one and not in the other, the wigs are also diffrent.

The entire thing is obviously photoshopped...

I've seen Sutton at the stage door and she DEFINITELY doesn't have a man growing out of her back...

In Photoshop, I cut pasted and superimposed. The smaller photo has such lousy resolution it's hard to tell but clearly the second (original) photo is not photoshopped. She's just in an incredily awkward position in the smaller photo and her back is up.

I'm pretty sure the wallpaper pic is from the LA run and not taken by Joan Marcus, which could be why they aren't using it for promo. I dont know wht they'd use that second one though.

All I can say is, it looks like it would hurt... lol.
