New York Premiere. A Cherry Lane Theatre production.
With wit, charm, and chutzpah, Ann Landers provided millions of Americans their daily dose of advice, etiquette, and encouragement. And for nearly half a century, one Eppie Lederer was Ann Landers. In this warm and funny one-woman play, drawn from her life and letters, Eppie comes to life on stage as she writes perhaps her most challenging - and personal - column. Two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey reprises her role in this New York premiere. With both grace and a touching vulnerability, Ivey's Landers is a tribute and celebration of a cultural icon.
"Razor sharp"
—The Villager
"Charms"
—TheaterMania
"Judith Ivey is giving an inspiring master class (in acting)... Hilariously funny, but there's plenty that's profoundly serious...Ivey reincarnates (Landers) with snap, crackle, and charm."
