Hunter Foster is the eldest of the two Fosters, who appear to be the powerhouse sibling duo in the theatre. Both Foster siblings made their Broadway debut in the 1994 revival of Grease, but never played any roles opposite each other in the show. Hunter understudied the role of Danny and younger sister Sutton understudied the role of Sandy starting in 1996. Hunter got his big break as Bobby Strong in Urinetown in 2001, and Sutton got her big break and first Tony Award in 2002 for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
