The Broadway Ladies: Ms. November 2018

These days it seems a career Broadway star is more an exception than a rule. But there are still a few around. A few that always bring it, and always can be counted upon, no matter the material they are given.  Tony Award winner Beth Leavel is one of those exceptions to the rule. A three decade career on the Broadway stage (including both the original and revival productions of 42nd Street) and a prolific regional resume, she elevates everything she's in. She's that rarest of show folk - if she's in it, no matter how good or bad the show is, you know you can count on wonderful work from her. These days she's belting it out as a self-absorbed diva - she carries her Tonys in her purse - and brings the house down 8 times a week at The Prom. And that's why she's this month's Ms. Broadway November 2018.
