Bio of Barbara Walsh

Barbara Walsh, Joanne in the John Doyle revival of Company, talks about taking on a role so indelibly associated with Elaine Stritch, explains why her character doesn't really "join the band" in this production and offers her own suggestion of how Forbidden Broadway should spoof her; reflects on shows she appeared in first at regional theatres that made it to Broadway (Company at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and Falsettos at Hartford Stage) and those that didn't (The Rhythm Club at Signature and Houdini at Goodspeed); and the recalls her Broadway debut playing Grace Slick and Joan Baez in the briefly seen Rock 'N Roll!: The First 5,000 Years.
