Tony winner Dick Scanlan penned these words for the CD’s liner notes:

If the song list is eclectic, so is the singer. You know that magical quality of morning light after a night of torrential downpour? Redemptive. Pure. Joyful, but a joy hard-won by having survived the rain. Listen to Sutton’s take on ‘Sunshine’ (a bold choice, given the knee-jerk dismissal the song often elicits). This is an ode to the sun offered up by someone who has known the clouds — perhaps quite recently — and is that much more grateful for warmth, for energy, for all that is life affirming. Optimistic by choice, because she knows the alternative is the easier option, and nothing good ever comes easy.

Sutton Foster, who is currently appearing as Princess Fiona in Broadway’s Shrek, has also has starred on Broadway in Annie, The Drowsy Chaperone (Tony nominated), Grease, Les Misérables, Little Women (Tony nominated), The Scarlet Pimpernel, Thoroughly Modern Millie (Tony winner), and Young Frankenstein.
