Here's an excellent interview with Janet in Theatre Sensation. I especially enjoyed the section in which she describes her character, Mrs. Wilkinson.

After seeing Ragtime last summer at Ogunquit and being quite impressed with the work of Ahrens and Flaherty, I happened to catch the movie Anastasia shortly afterward and again liking the work of this duo. That led to taking in the musical on Broadway this past Saturday and glad to see Janet is still performing at the Broadhurst. It is a fine production and I very much enjoyed the performance.

There was just a bit of a distraction though which I suspect may be shared among us BETM veterans. In the movie there is a scene that occurs at the Paris Grand Opera House. In the musical that becomes a "Russian ballet". Janet's character is on stage for this scene. So the sight of Janet, plus twirling, pirouetting ballet dancers performing a scene from - what else - Swan Lake brings about this feeling of I've seen this before. And the wistful thoughts of that other musical from yesteryear... :lol:
