Jan Maxwell

The story of political hostess Hester Ferris, a mover and shaker in the nation’s capital from the Carter administration to the Obama years.

Jan Maxwell, who stars as Phyllis Rogers Stone, and Danny Burstein, who stars as Buddy Plummer in the new production of "Follies," talk about their roles and the production. When former members of the "Weismann Follies" reunite on the eve of their theater's demolition, two couples remember their past and face the harsher realities of the present. The score features some of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs. "Follies" is playing at the Marquis Theatre through January 22.

Stanley Tucci, director of "Lend Me A Tenor," and Tony Shalhoub and Jan Maxwell, who star in it, discuss the play— a screwball comedy set in the 1930s. It’s playing at the Music Box Theatre.

Jan Maxwell and Rosemary Harris discuss their roles in the Manhattan Theatre Club’s production of George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber’s "The Royal Family." It’s playing at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, 261 West 47th Street, through November 29. More information and tickets here.
