WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two-time Tony winner Judith Ivey stars as legendary advice columnist Ann Landers in The Lady With All the Answers,
by David Rambo. Opening night TBA.
For decades, newspaper columnist and American icon Ann Landers dispensed wit and wisdom to lovelorn teens, confused couples and countless others in need of advice in her enormously popular, nationally syndicated column. In The Lady With All the Answers, Landers finds herself writing a column about a new kind of heartbreak -- her own. Drawn from Landers' life and letters, the show is a touching and comic portrait of a wise, funny, no-nonsense woman who was, in fact, one of the most influential figures in America by virtue of the millions of readers who wrote to her seeking her indispensable advice and sometimes controversial opinions on matters ranging from marriage, divorce, life, death and sexuality, to the proper way to hang a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom.

The Lady With All the Answers, now making its New York premiere at the Cherry Lane Theatre, makes a helluva case for the woman who you probably know by her nom de plume: Ann Landers.
Indeed, Rambo practically canonizes his subject, a Midwestern woman who spent half a century speaking out on issues previously only whispered-about in public, from sexual bondage to abortion to homosexuality to how to properly hang toilet paper. Fortunately, star Judith Ivey -- sporting Lederer'[...]
