She was wonderful as Rose in Apsects of Love. Haven't heard from her since then.

She was nominated for Anna Karininna back in 91, and since then...well, I guess the show was THAT bad...

(She gave a horrid Ethel Merman impersonation on the london Anything Goes, mind you)

"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Did you watch the Brady Bunch Reunion Special tonight on TV Land? Most actors begin their downfall after only a few professional gigs.

Ann played the wicked cattle queen, Emma, opposite Judy McLane's saloonkeeper, Vienna, in the off-Broadway production of "Johnny Guitar" in the Spring of last year. Steve Blanchard was Johnny and Rob Evan, the Dancing Kid. The reviews were mixed but I and many others enjoyed it. There's an original cast recording available that's not bad either.

I saw her in Man of La Mancha with John Cullum in Houston around 1994 and I know she played Bernadette's role in The London production of The Goodbye Girl.

I really liked her in "Johnny Guitar." She has also been touring around singing jazz...she has a cd that I believe is on Amazon.

She was excellent as the Fantine understudy in the OBC of Les Miserables.

As with anything, sometimes people move on. I know plenty of people who've appeared on Broadway but after a while get tired of pounding the pavement and find a more stable job.

She's actually on the OBCR as the Crone in Lovely Ladies and the Young Whore in Look Down.

I thought she lived near Philly? I think she's from around there, everyone in the Philly theatre scene seems to know her personally. Or maybe they are just bragging?

She recently did a concert at a jazz club of her father's work here in NYC.

she has an official website www.anncrumb.com
I can't get some of the pages to work, but the gallery works.
Her parents are from the Philadelphia area, so that may be why she is known in that area.

She did a small role on One Life to Live, about a year ago. She played a parishner who was horrified that Reverand Joe Buchanan was married to trampy Jen Rappaport, who showed up at church one day drunk and slingin a bottle of gin all over the place. I think Crumb was on two or three episodes...why oh why, do I know this?! :)

She was in musical at the Wilma Theatre in Philly a few years ago called Bed and Sofa, I think by Polly Pen.

Hmph. Someone should tell her that her site crashes in FireFox.

I guess this answers the question:

From the BWW news desk:

"Casting has been announced for the Broadway-bound production of Nefertiti: A Musical Romance. Nicole Leach will play the title role of the beautiful Egyptian queen, while Ann Crumb and Alan H. Green will play, respectively, Queen Tiye and the soldier Hap.

The musical will begin previews at Fort Lauderdale's Parker Playhouse on May 4th, officially opening on May 7th and running through May 15th. A Broadway transfer is planned after the Florida run."

She's been singing her father's music around the Philly new music scene (with my piano teacher).

Look at the end of the program notes for her bio. It says she's working on a jazz album.
