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.
