Sutton Foster Wins Special Award for Best Performance of the Entire Broadway Season!

Sutton Foster just won one of the biggest honors in the Broadway community!

The two-time Tony-winning actress was presented the Distinguished Performance Award during the 2022 Drama League Awards on Friday afternoon (May 20) in New York City.

The annual awards show honors just one acting performance for the entire theatrical season, encompassing all of Broadway and off-Broadway.

Sutton won the award for her performance in The Music Man and her co-star Hugh Jackman received the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre award. Actors can only win the Distinguished Performance Award once in their career and Hugh won almost 20 years ago for starring in Broadway’s The Boy From Oz, so he was ineligible for The Music Man.

Former Oscars Host Billy Crystal Makes Slap Joke During 'Mr. Saturday Night' Dress Rehearsal

Billy Crystal is poking fun at the current hot topic in pop culture.

The 74-year-old star gave a curtain speech following the final dress rehearsal of the new musical Mr. Saturday Night, which has its first Broadway preview on Tuesday (March 29).

During the speech, the star – who hosted the Oscars for much of the ’90s – made a joke about the 2022 Oscars slap incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock: “We got through a show and no one got slapped. Unbelievable.”

Mr. Saturday Night is a musical adaptation of the 1992 film of the same name, and features Billy Crystal as Buddy Young Jr., the once outrageous comic star from TV’s early days. The musical’s story picks up 40 years after Buddy’s career flamed out as he “seeks one more shot at the spotlight, and while he’s at it, one last shot at fixing the family he fractured along the way,” via Deadline.
