With only nine days remaining before the first preview, Foster took over the role of Millie Dilmount.

Foster's debut solo album Wish was released by Ghostlight Records in February 2009. As, another of New York's prototypical small-town girls with big-city dreams, appears unfazed by the burden of a character created onscreen by Julie Andrews.
