It's going to be a showdown for the best actress Tony award this year with some of the Great White Way's most famous leading ladies going head-to-head in a battle to be named Broadway's best.
Two-time winner Sutton Foster is considered a front-runner for the trophy. In "Violet" Foster plays a scarred woman on a search for physical beauty in the 1964 deep South.
SOUNDBITE: Sutton Foster saying (English):
"We already feel like we've won. So this, it just feels like, I'm like, 'what, huh, who?' And it's just sort of incredible to be honored for this piece. I just feel so passionately about the piece as a whole."
Foster's biggest competition: Broadway darling and 5-time nominee Kelli O'Hara, whose moving role as a housewife having a love affair has been called a career-defining performance. O'Hara said despite being a repeat nominee, this one felt different.
SOUNDBITE: Kelli O'Hara saying (English):
"No not new, but still exciting and still overwhelming
