SERIES PREMIERE: Two different fan factions should help make this new series a success. First, this comedy-drama – about a showgirl who gets married impulsively, returns to her husband’s small town and runs a small ballet school with his mom – is created by Amy Sherman-Palladino of Gilmore Girls, and even features Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) as the mother-in-law. Second, the starring role is played by Sutton Foster, who for years has brightened Broadway with her talent and energy. She’s won Tonys as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes and as the titular star of Thoroughly Modern Millie, and also played Inga in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein and Princess Fiona in Shrek: The Musical.
