Age is not a Disease on the Stage
The number of accomplished women over forty currently on Broadway from Allison Janney 49 to Angela Lansbury 83 – are proving that: Age is not a Disease. In fact, we are simply better at living than ever before!
As we get older, we are focused and playing to our strengths.
Janney will celebrate her next birthday singing and dancing in “9 to 5.” She told reporter Patricia Cohen – “It’s kind of cool to turn 50 on Broadway.”
It’s way cool and this year, lots of great women to watch at the Tony Awards!
Patricia Cohen’s wonderful article: “Forget the Ingénue; Cue the Grown-Ups” is a filled with the wisdom of women we have grown up with, and who are now having a “rock star” impact on Broadway.
