For Lynnie: Annaleigh Ashford

Annaleigh Ashford is amazing. Lynn and I spoke recently and she said that she liked the TV Show "B Positive" and particularly the girl.

Well, the girl is Annaleigh Ashford, who is funny and a great singer. I think I first really noticed her in Kinky Boots when it opened years ago, although she was a smaller part of Legally Blonde.

But where she stunned was in the revival of Sunday in the Park with George, starring her and Jake Gyllenhaal. Here is a short clip of them rehearsing:

I cannot find a clip from the show itself (which was a short very limited run), but here they are singing over Zoom during a ready for Sondheim's Birthday.


Here are some stills from the shows I have seen her in.

  1. Thank you! I think she is funny and "true" in the TV series. I had no idea she had this background and/or was this good an actress AND singer. I hope they let her sing something is the show. She could/should get them at least one more season.

Sometimes I despair at age. But this gives me hope.

 I mean, I don't want a child, but I think she is older than Tony Randel. Unlike Tony, she pushed this out!
