Ms. Broadway April 2018: Alison Pill

She's had success in television, on film, and on the stage.  Her career spans comedy, drama, and even horror.  And now she's co-starring with two of the greatest actresses in the business in one of the greatest revivals in recent memory, and she more than holds her own while doing so. that probably should be less of a surprise than it seems to be.  After all, she got her first Tony nomination for her Broadway debut a dozen years ago.  I have a feeling it won't be her last - if not for Three Tall Women, than perhaps the next time she visits.  Of course, I'm talking about "C" herself, Alison Pill, now Ms. Broadway April 2018.



A FEW FUN FACTS:

• Birthdate: November 27
• Birthplace: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
• IBDB Credits: 6 (My favorite: Three Tall Women!)
• IMDB Credits: A whopping 89! Including HBO's The Newsroom, American Horror Story: Cult, and movies including Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Milk.

Broadway Ladies: Ms. March 2010

At a mere 24 years old, the Canadian-born actress who is Ms. March, has amassed an impressive resume to date: 50 television and film credits (in the US, Canada and Europe), and a stage career full of high-profile off-Broadway and Broadway shows, including a performance that garnered her a 2006 Tony nomination.  She has (or is) co-starred with some equally impressive names including Matthew Modine, Bobby Canavale, Dylan Baker, Katie Finneran, Sean Penn and even Lindsay Lohan!  These days, she's creating another stage memory for all of us as Anne Sullivan aka The Miracle Worker, in which co-stars with Oscar nominee and fellow young phenom, Abigail Breslin.  (Both have co-starred, separately, with Steve Carell.)

By now you have probably guessed that this month's Broadway Lady is none other than Alison Pill.

Let's all hope The Miracle Worker sticks around for awhile.  This terrific actress deserves to be seen.
