while I'm very sad about this, I can't say this news is surprising in any way.

Ugh I would have loved one last performance from her.

At least we have that glorious video of her singing from the Beauty and the Beast anniversary screening to console us At 90, it's a marvel that this was even being considered. What an absolute treasure she is.

Devastating news! I was really hoping to see her onstage one final time. Then again, I told myself my likely final time seeing her onstage would be in Blithe Spirit. Then I got to see her in Night Music. Then I got to see her in The Best Man. So I can't be too upset.

It's a shame, but I have to applaud her for recognizing her potential limitations and leaving the game at her peak. Not every actor has the foresight to quit while she's ahead, and it's resulted in some performances that are ultimately sad and uncomfortable to watch.

Could this possibly suggest she will be in next season's Game of Thrones after all?

I think they said she's definitely not appearing on that show.

Agreed.

While it's a terribly upsetting and disappointing news, I applaud Dame Angela's decision to leave the stage on a high note. It's just a shame that they didn't launch the production back in 2014 as it was originally planned.
She's an extraordinary talented performer, who has accomplished so much over the years. I have nothing but deepest admiration and gratitude for one of the greatest performers of all time and I feel so fortunate for being able to see her perform live over the years.
I'm absolutely certain Dame Angela will return to acting. If not on stage, then in a film or TV show.

Surely this doesn't mean that she won't be working any longer in the theatre however, right?

God bless Angela Lansbury. I really do love her, she's such a precious gem! She's one of the few Golden Age actors left.

So happy I was able to see her in Blithe Spirit when it came to Los Angeles.

She's doing a reading of it! Maybe it could turn into a limited run?

It's not like she's on her deathbed. She could always return to Broadway.

You don't have to be at death's door to not feel up to committing to a Broadway run anymore. The lady is 91 and has been working for over 70 years. If she wants to retire, she has fully earned it.

Thank you, Kad!

My point is she never said she was going to retire. In the original statement she said, "I think that a play is just a bit too much for me to handle at this time." Everyone on this board was treating it like she'll never do a show again. Yes, she's 91, but until she says never again then I'm holding out hope.

Kad nailed it. So glad I got to see her on stage...and, eating in the corner of her daughter's restaurant in Los Angeles!

I have a feeling she will have at least one more star turn before she's through. It's in her blood.

One of my favorite theatre memories is looking up from my Orchestra aisle seat at the Colonial Theatre in Boston and seeing Angela Lansbury standing next to me, tapping her foot to the overture as she waited to make her entrance in Gypsy and winking at me when our eyes met.
