Rue McClanahan Once was Madame Morrible…

Now that Rue McClanahan has taken her immeasurable talents at comedy and poignancy to debut her solo show on Broadway starting on July 16, 2007, let’s take a look back at McClanahan’s stint as Madame Morrible in “Wicked” on Broadway. Known most prominently for her stint as Rose on televisions “The Golden Girls,” McClanahan’s new show is entitled “My First Five Husbands.”

While McClahan is of course looking forward to her stint on Broadway promoting her solo show, which is also available on the Broadway Books label as well as getting your chance to see her perform the show live, she is still thrilled to have gotten to play such a prominent role in Stephen Schwartz’s hit musical, the memory of which she will always treasure. Her time with the “Wicked” cast at the Gershwin Theater was marvelous for her as McClanahan felt there was quite a lot that could be done with the role of Madame Morrible and she was excited to work with the material.

Now that work ethic has moved onto “My First Five Husbands” but you can all still catch “Wicked” in all its glory - just get your tickets at stubhub.com today!
