Sutton Foster and The New York Pops Will Play Open-Air Concert

Two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster will help The New York Pops inaugurate its summer home at the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York with an August 6 concert at the open-air venue.

The concert comes on the heels of Foster's Carnegie Hall solo debut with the 78-piece orchestra, which took place March 13. That concert, like this one, will be musica-directed and conducted by Pops leader Steven Reineke. It will feature tunes from Broadway musicals and some of Foster's favorite numbers.

The orchestra will establish a summer series at the open-air venue and will offer affordable concerts as well as an expansion of its Kids in the Balcony program, offering over 1,000 children an opportunity to learn about and enjoy live music for free. The night after Foster performs will be a concert featuring Pink Martini.

Foster's many Broadway credits include The Drowsy Chaperone, Young Frankenstein, Shrek The Musical, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. She is also known for the television shows Bunheads and Younger. Foster will star in the Encores! Off-Center production of The Wild Party this summer.
