As I'm getting ready to wrap up my last weekend as Eleanor of Aquitaine, I've been reflecting on some of my favorite roles. Every part is different, and I really do love most of them. Even when I'm thinking that Eleanor is my favorite part in a straight play, I feel a pang of loyalty to Julia Gibbs, my part in Our Town. They are two very different women. I guess they bring out two very different parts of me. When it comes to musicals, it's still hard to beat when I played the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods. I loved that part so much. Here is Joanna Gleason as the Baker's Wife. She won a Tony for this role. I'm nowhere close to the genius of Joanna Gleason, but I did love playing that part. Enjoy.
Julie Andrews had nothin' on you Maria!
