Art Preview: Hyannis Harbor Arts Center's Sutton Foster and Julien Havard Exhibition, Opening 8/1 |

“I’ve never been happier in my life, and I’ve never been happier in a job,” Sutton Foster declared when accepting the 2011 Best Actress in a Musical Tony Award for Anything Goes. “All I ever wanted as a little girl was to be a performer.” Radiant in a Michael Kors strapless gown, Foster saluted her trio of Broadway co-stars (Joel Grey, Colin Donnell and Adam Godley), then became emotional as she thanked the three real-life men in her life: boyfriend (and fellow 2011 Tony nominee) Bobby Cannavale, “who has changed my life,” Cannavale’s 16-year-old son Jake and her soon-to-depart dresser Julien Havard, with whom she has worked on six shows in nine years. Havard, who is apparently headed to Cape Cod to become an artist, got a huge plug for his fledgling career from Foster, who cried as she saluted a special friend and colleague. |
Here’s Julien
The next day he got 160 e-mails from some surprised friends, which were followed by several interviews with the New York Times and other newspapers, and television appearances with Foster. |
When Sutton Foster won the Tony Award for best actress this month for her performance in “Anything Goes,” she began her acceptance speech by thanking the usual suspects: co-stars, teachers, director, boyfriend. It wasn’t until she thanked her dresser, though, that Ms. Foster’s composure broke, and the waterworks started. “He’s the world’s greatest artist, and he’s moving to Cape Cod, and he’s going to be amazing, and I love you so much!” Ms. Foster gushed about Julien Havard, her voice drenched in sobs. |
