Sutton Foster & Carol Burnett: Musical comedy royalty
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In 1959 an unknown named Carol Burnett burst onto the New York stage in the musical comedy "Once Upon a Mattress." Now, two-time Tony-winning star Sutton Foster is recreating the role of Princess Winnifred, a princess in search of a suitable mate, in the new Broadway revival. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with Burnett and Foster about the power of fairy tales - from the theatrical kind to real life.

Nowadays we throw around the word “legend” way too often for celebrities who don’t deserve it. But Carol Burnett is a LEGEND!

L…EGEND! Carol is amazing
Hear, hear!
Exactly!
@@marytheresejacksonlutz2533 leavem alone!!!
Carol Burnett is an American treasure ❤
Indeed!
I share the same birthday with her ! Carol is my comedy idol 💗💗👑👑
We love you so much Carol Burnett!! ❤
👂 (Left ear tug) with much ❤❤❤
The moment when Sutton Foster came on screen to sit next to Carol Burnett and their eye contact and admiration for one another made me cry for so many reasons. It felt like the passing down of a torch and a mission, the handing over flowers to an icon, and two very hardworking performers honoring themselves and the hard road they had to bear to meet and accomplish their goals. CBS Sunday Morning remains one of my favorite shows because of interviews and profiles like this one. And thank you for featuring and honoring two people that I've looked up to for a very long time.
Ehhh. Maybe she’s handing it off but Sutton is never going to be as good as carol
In all seriousness, are you a writer? That was written like a professional review.
Carol Burnett is authentic, brilliant and just so damn talented. Sutton Foster, I feel the same about her. Much and continued success to them both. #Broadway #NYC #ActorsLife
I love Carol Burnett! Watching her each week was part of my formative years and I wouldn't want to change a thing. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story about an American gem.
How about Lyle Wagner?
@@user-er3ri6sc3j Lyle was a beefcake, Carol is an American treasure.
@@stifledvoice Gotta have contrast between Lyle Wagner and Harvey Korman and Tim Conway.
I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh or sing a song
Seems we just get started and before know it
Comes the time we have to say So Long. 😂🎶❤
Same. Well said
I was smiling 😊 during this entire segment 😀❤🎉🎉 Carol Burnett looks excellent 👍🏼 for 91!!🎉❤
And this is why I love CBS Sunday Morning! Two pros-Carol and Sutton
I would put on the original Mattress soundtrack record on when no one was home, stand in front of the mirror and lip synch Shy, Sensitivity, Very Soft Shoes and Happily Ever After over and over again. It gave me tremendous joy.
If anyone gets a chance just watch Carol in Once Upon a Mattress.
I never laughed so hard and her expressions are hilarious. She is so special and really understands what comedy is all about and knew how to make everyone laugh!
Carol is so sharp! Legend.
My mother loved her. I love her. Everyone loves her.
laughed hysterical ly watching when I was little
Carol Princess😂😂
How must it feel to have Carol Burnett say she loves YOU?! How marvelous.
Carol, you're an icon to so many of us. And Sutton is the perfect choice to walk the same path. Women supporting women. Everybody get on board. You can feel the power in this.
There is nothing like live theatre. Nothing.
With live music!
Right on!
A friend's brother worked on Broadway. When Carol came back in the mid 90's to do Moon Over Buffalo he worked on the show. He said that she was WONDERFUL to everyone and was one of the nicest people he had ever worked with. That made me happy to know that she was genuinely a nice person.
OMG....how good does Carol Burnett look?! Wow. She looks great!
Patricia Lavin cast Ms. Burnett in her first role while she was a journalism major at UCLA, Howard Hughes saw the production & the rest is history. Ms Lavin also cast Ron Howard in his first role. Amazing how very talented & strong women influence our entertainment AND POLITICS!
It is amazing and so many of us are clueless about the behind the scenes people (often women) who influence our socialization and help move society forward without us having a clue how great their influence has been on so many of us. I was a teenager in the early 70s and Carol Burnett, Cher, Lily Tomlin, Gilda Radner all were women free to be silly on tv without worrying about their appearance. I had a sociology teacher in college in 1974 (I was a nursing student) who asked the class who were all female why we wanted to be nurses. Why didn’t we want to be doctors? I got his point immediately, but lots of us fought with him insisting they wanted to help people, etc, He said doctors don’t help people? You’re all smart enough with top grades to be doctors, so why are you here? You’re mostly here because society told you women are nurses and men are doctors. You have been socialized to believe that is your role. He opened my eyes to all the pledges of allegiance and various “American“ values we never questioned. Carol was one of the women breaking barriers and changing our perceptions of what was possible in our world. Everything was changing then and still over 50 years later, we are being pulled backwards in the worst ways. As you mentioned, behind the scenes were trailblazers we weren’t even conscious of how their choices affected us. Anyway, love this woman and her graciousness and kindness and the example she set for so many people. Have a lovely day!
Sutton is adorable
Carol Burnett was ALWAYS my favorite. I always watched her show, even the reruns ❤
What a treat to have Carol Bennett back in the spotlight! I grew up watching her show and love hearing her stories in these interviews. Love from Detroit, Carol 💛
This is my special show. I did costumes for high school production many years ago. I had already seen Ms Burnett do the show on tv and fell in love with it. Ms Foster truly is the perfect actor to play Winnifred. I wish I could see this new production but thrilled it has a new life on Broadway again.
Sutton Foster always brings it!
Carol Burnett and Sutton Foster: Two peas in a pod. Where do I buy tickets?
She’s so talented and so humble and so likable. Truly one of a kind.
Carol I watched your show every Saturday night with the family.Dad was almost in tears with laughter each week.
I'm still watching this unique show every night.❤ 😂
I admire all of the physical comedy you did for us.Thanks!You look great!❤
Carol had a unique voice that was so strong. These days they all sound like they've had every single bit of individuality surgically removed. No thanks. Yay Carol.
She looks awesome for 91 years old !! 🎉😀
You know when you have Carol Burnett praising you like she did with Sutton during this interview, you’ve officially had your seal of approval.
"Mattress" is such a great show. My sister played Winifred in her school, I played Jester in mine, and even our dad was in a production. Carol is an unmatched queen of musical comedy.
Wonderful. I remember the earlier TV special and of course The Carol Burnett Show. Sutton Foster is perfection.
Love them both. I’m not crying.
She will ALWAYS be a LEGEND to me❤❤
Carol Burnett made my childhood better. Cried the day her show ended! Forever a fan❤
I grew up watching Carol Burnette on television. I knew nothing about her Broadway career. This piece is very insightful and entertaining. Good luck to Sutton Foster!
If I look like Carol does at 91 then I'd be very happy! And you can see the admiration that she has for Sutton! 😊
Love Carol Burnett. And Sutton Foster. Can't wait to see this musical when it comes to L.A.!
Love Carol Brunette!
That was a wonderful interview. Carol Burnett dragged a tear from my eye when talking to Sutton Foster.
I love Carol Burnett! She is an absolute legend. She is wonderful in everything she does. We loved her in role on Signed Sealed Delivered Movies.
God, I love Carol Burnett. She is everything.
I watched Carol every Saturday night with my mom,!!She killed it in Better Call Saul❤❤❤
@@annrodriguez2891 Awe I love that! She was amazing in better call Saul, you’re right!
Saw Sutton Foster do a 1 woman concert years ago. She had such star presence & so talented & gifted. She may not be a big name, but I remember her performance like it was yesterday.
My mother made sure I saw the television special with Carol when it was broadcast....because, she told me, at the age of about seven, I was just like the princess and the pea (too, too sensitive!). I guess she was on to something. And I loved the show, of course. I was always crazy for musical comedy, anyway. That show was delightful!
Carol is an American Gem ❤
Beautiful makeup on Ms Burnett.
I forgot how talented she is ! Thanks - SIDENOTE: Her daughter is part of the "Stephanie Miller & Co. " Podcast! (Political ,Comedy, Commentary/NEWS )! Also very good! Thanks Sunday Morning! 🦘💙
Looks like a wonderful revival. I was on stage, ensemble, in 2 NJ community theater versions of it. But it would have been such a thrill for Carol and Sutton to have been a part in both of them.
Carol Burnett is a true Legend ❤❤Ear tug please
That was wonderful. By the way, I saw it last week, the show is brilliant.
Carol Burnett pure class!
This video dropping in my feed is such a treat! I ❤ Carol Burnett! 💫⭐️🎈🎉
I love this so much! ❤
I remember watching once upon a mattress when it came on Tv! I loved it!❤👸
Two actresses were considered for the roll of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, Carol Burnett, and Barbra Streisand.
Oddly enough it was offered to Mary Martin first who knew she wasn't right for it and turned it down...also Anne Bancroft who reportedly said "You'll never find anyone to sing those songs." (at least Anne was Jewish!)
😂 I also watched The Carol Burnett Show!❤
Blessings to the both of you~
The Best❤
Loved this story... Carol & now Sutton.... fabulous actresses= singers!
Definitely looking forward to seeing Once Upon A Mattress next month! I'm so excited to see Sutton Foster in this role she was born to play!
Love these two! Thanks for this story! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Must see TV. CBS on Saturday night in the 70s. ❤
so so cool from a High School King Sextimus my favorite role
No one but Carol Burnett is Winifred.
Carol Burnett is very special and talented.
Love love love this Diva❤
Thank you for such an insightful and well considered reply.
I love her
Trying watching this without crying....good luck.
If I had to pick the 5 funniest woman of all time, I would put Carol Burnett right at the top. Maybe tied with Lucille Ball.
Sutton’s had a hell of a good run the last couple years: Music Man opposite Hugh Jackman, Sweeney Todd with Aaron Tveit and now this
legend
Sarah Jessica Parker also did a revival on Broadway.
American treasure!
Two divine ladies--I wanna see this!!💓
ps--Thank you, CBS Sun. Morning!
Definitely going to introduce my children to Eunice from mama's family
"Unafraid to be ridiculous".
When I was about 10 or 11, I was thrilled to get my parents' hand-me-down very small (maybe 12X12?) black and white, tube, of course, TV. It went on the dresser in my closet and I could see it from bed. One of the things I could get on it was the Carol Burnett Show. Only problem was,v it was on after my bedtime! So, I'd go to bed, be very quiet...my parents would quietly open my door so as not to disturb me and check on me about a half hour later. THEN I was free to slowly slide open the closet door, trying not to let it make noise and turn on the TV . Without the sound on, of course! And waaaaay before closed captioning., which would've helped. Nevertheless, I would love every minute. I was only caught one time. They just turned off the TV and sternly told me to "Go to sleep". I sneaked that every Saturday night until I was finally allowed to stay up later! Such wonderful memories. And, of course I enjoyed the show even more when I could actually hear it!
CArol looks better than she did a year or two ago maybe a little bit more work she’s perfect and her mind is 100%
Sutton Foster states that she watched the Carol Burnett show every week and that it inspired her to be an actress. SHE WAS 3 WHEN THE SHOW WENT OFF THE AIR!!!!
Ummmm....syndication? VCRs?
Bill is this much fun ALL THE TIME.
Yes, and it's a very well-known fact that once a TV show is no longer being made that it ceases to exist and there are no opportunities to see it shown on TV again...ever.
the show ended but it never went "off the air". nice try though
My son was born 1994 and grew up watching The Carol Burnett show re-runs! It became one of his favorite shows!
Failed to mention the Broadway revival in the mid 1990s starred Sarah Jessica Parker. That revival flopped
American treasure
wow
Both great ladies of Broadway.
This production of Mattress started with a City Center Encores production with Sutton Foster. There is another Carol Burnett show that would be a great vehicle for Sutton Foster:
Fade Out Fade that was a big hit on Broadway but then got off track for a number of reasons including a taxi cab accident
The show has a book and score by Jule Styne and Betty Comden and Adolph Green
It may be a sore spot with Ms. Burnett who got sued by the producers but it is a fun show that would be perfect for Sutton Foster. Here's her big show stopper "Go Home Train":

Just who dosent love that women
Don't ask me why but I had the feeling they were related somehow. THAT would have been ironic...

Looking at the few clips of her performance, Sutton Foster is really bad. Carol is being kind and generous as usual.
I love these two ladies, but why leaving out SJP, I think she did an amazing job as Princess Winnifred, and if I may, I love SJP rendition of “Shy” more than Sutton Foster’s.
Sutton Foster would have been 3 when The Carol Burnett show went OFF the air....
Reruns

Always thought she was a lesser Lucille Ball but it's vital to get the next generation interested in your work. Good luck Carol! 🎉🎉
What a “lovely” comment.🙄
Ball pretty much passed the torch to Carol by featuring her on her shows. They're very different but both legends in their own right.
There’s literally a video with both of them.
Carol needs to be treasured for who she is and was. Comparing her to anyone is doing her a disservice. She and Lucy were both strong women taking charge in a time when it was really difficult but they are so different. Burnett was always a team player where Ball was always someone who needed to be front and center. They admired each other but when the opportunity came to work together on Lucy's new sitcom in the 60's they both realized it would never work. Carol had guest starred on Lucy's show and they did great playing off each other but weekly? Nope.
@@hectorsmommy1717 The egos would be too big for one room.
👁️ 2nd1! 🤣🥰

I love how there is no mention of the AWWWWFULLLLL SjP version
it really WAS terrible
Why do they have tracey nelson doing celebrity interviews? I don't think they interest her. Mo Roca is better.😮
