WISH is the debut solo album by Sutton Foster, the Tony Award-winning actress currently starring on Broadway as Princess Fiona in Shrek The Musical.
One of today's most prolific leading ladies, Sutton Foster first wowed Broadway audiences with her star turn in Thoroughly Modern Millie, for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Since then, she has continued to light up the stage year after year, starring in Little Women The Musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, Young Frankenstein, and now in Shrek The Musical. Sutton brings some of her favorite influences and inspirations to this studio recording, with material drawn from the concerts which she performs around the country.
"Although the CD opens and closes with confidently belted numbers, capped by a rousing minute-long rendition of "Oklahoma!" as a bonus track, most of the rest of the songs on the CD are gentle in tempo and allow Foster to shine as a chanteuse. Shine she does, gently shading her sweet soprano to interpret showtunes (such as "Warm All Over" from The Most Happy Fella), country-tinged pop (John Denver's "Sunshine On My Shoulders" and American songbook standards "My Romance" as well as new songs." - Patrick Lee, Just Shows to Go You
