Will We Ever Get Mary Stuart Masterson Back On Broadway?

Just revisiting NINE and seeing Masterson’s incredible performance along with the praise she received, it’s always struck me as odd that she hasn’t done any musicals (or theater in general) in the 15 years since the production. I’d so love to see her onstage again in a musical that shows off the gorgeous voice that surprised everyone in 2003.

She was by far my favorite part of the NINE revival. Absolutely masterful.

In a perfect world, it would be fabulous seeing her take on the role which her mother Carlin Glynn created and won a Tony Award for: Miss Mona in THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS.

I loved her performance as Luisa. It was so understandable why Guido loved her. I found her far superior to Karen Akers who originated the part, who I didn't care for and whose voice I find grating.

Exactly what I was thinking. Since her Father Peter Masterson was one of the original authors I think this would be especially cool.

Thank you for sharing those clips, Jordan. I didn’t get to see her live, but I remember becoming obsessed with the NINE recording when I came across it in my local library soon after it came out (my first exposure to NINE) and ever since I have been a huge fan of Mary Stuart Masterson’s genius take on Luisa. She’s always been incredibly underrated. I would have hoped she’d have a thriving Broadway career. She can sing like the best of them but more importantly she knows how to act through song. I hope she’s back on Broadway in another classy, top-notch show like NINE. I love BrodyFosse’s idea of having her back on stage as Miss Mona.
