I just saw a performance of the national tour of Wonderful Town and just saw on ibdb.com that that show is Jennifer Westfeldt's only Broadway credit. Where is she now?

What a great question. I am guessing that she is writing these days for a spell(?)
I really enjoyed Kissing Jessica Stein, the film she wrote and starred in. It was light fun fluff by and large but dealt with some heavy identity crisis issues.
If you havent seen it, it's worth renting.

Hopefully not thinking about more broadway!
I thought she was dreadful in Wonderful town.
Can't say anything about her movie, though.

I thought she was absolutely charming in WONDERFUL TOWN.

She actually wrote and starred in another movie called "Ira and Abby", which is currently being shown only in festivals. It stars, among others, Judith Light, Robert Klein, Frances Conroy, Jason Alexander, and two of her WT costars - Michael McGrath and Donna Murphy.

You know I hope she's somewhere writing or acting. I wouldn't mind her seen on Broadway in a play but please don't let her near a musical...unless she plays The Page, the silent role.

I believe she had a TV show in development. I don't know if anything ever came of it.

Why did she leave Wonderful Town so abruptly?

I heard she left "Wonderful Town" because of a foot injury, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yes, she's starring in "Notes From the Underbelly" on ABC, which, unfortunately, does not yet have an airing date: http://abc.go.com/primetime/schedule/2006-07/notes.html

I love "Kissing Jessica Stein" - would definitely recommend it!
