Sutton Foster:It can be a little bit hard to come down after a show.
How does being on stage impact your dinner schedule?
I still struggle with nerves and anxiety about performing, so my appetite is the first thing that goes.
So sometimes Im only hungry, really hungry, after a show.
It just depends on the night.
Ive become addicted to Magnum mini ice cream bars.
These are all terrible things to have before bedtime!
How do you wind down after dinner?
My biggest ritual is always to take a bath; my bathtub is my sanctuary.
I always take a bath and wash off my makeup from the show while Im in the bathtub.
Whats part of your bath routine?
I love to crochet, so I have all these crocheted washcloths that Ive made.
I have magnesium salts and Angelica aromatherapy oil.

I dont like the foam mattresses, it feels like youre sleeping in clay.
I would say Im more on the firm side?
