Every week on “Bunheads,” the ABC Family show from “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, Sutton Foster gives a clinic on delivering dialogue. Playing Michelle, a Las Vegas dancer starting over in a quaint California town, Foster trills reams and reams of lightning fast, reference-laden mood-hopping banter with charm and ease, her verbal and emotional dexterity giving the not-so-plot-heavy (but totally wonderful) “Bunheads” its narrative thrills. Foster, who has won multiple Tony awards for her work on Broadway, spoke with Salon about the show, how much she relates to Michelle and her love of “Gilmore Girls.”
