The Truth About Annaleigh Ashford's Broadway Career

Writer Owen Barnes

While it's unknown when Annaleigh Ashford will make her return to the stage, she is busy with several television roles, including portraying Paula Jones in Ryan Murphy's limited series "Impeachment: American Crime Story." In addition, her show "B Positive" has been picked up for a second season. For Ashford, her role as Gina on the CBS sitcom is "the dreamiest of dreams come true," she told Broadway.com. "Since I was a kid, I have been watching not only sitcoms but the old sitcoms. The oldies are my faves. I liked Nickelodeon, but I liked Nick at Nite more. I loved Cheers. I have a real gratitude for the art form of sitcom comedy. It stems back to vaudeville and to all of the great comedies of early Broadway."

When she isn't performing, Ashford's focus is on her son, Jack Clark, whom she shares with her husband, actor Joe Tapper. "There are no words to describe our joy when we first met our Jack," the couple told People shortly after their son's birth in September 2020.
