Four months after winning a Tony for “You Can’t Take It With You,” Annaleigh Ashford is back on Broadway playing the titular pooch in “Sylvia.”
Sylvia’s breed is unspecified in A.R. Gurney’s 1995 play, but Ashford has been inspired by Labradoodles (she wears a fluffy brown sweater in the play) and her own toy Australian Shepherd, Gracie.
If Sylvia were a person, Ashford says, she’d be a “sassy 24-year-old girl living life on the Upper West Side.” Ashford, meantime, divides her time between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, where she works on “Masters of Sex.” “Being bicoastal sounds disgusting,” she says, adding that living that way is a “bizarre luxury.”
Also in this week’s podcast, a new segment, Theater in a Flash.” Listen in for mini reviews of “Barbecue” and “Sisters Follies.”
