Prior to that, Sutton was Mrs. Lovett in the Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd opposite Aaron Tveit; Marian Paroo in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man opposite Hugh Jackman and Max Clayton; Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes (2021) in London’s West End, which received a cinematic release in US and Australia theaters; The Baker’s Wife in the Hollywood Bowl’s Into the Woods (2019); the title role of the 50th anniversary revival of Sweet Charity (2016).
