MS. JANUARY 2014ANIKA LARSEN
WHY SHE'S MS. BROADWAY: She's been an actress that I've seen several times in all different venues, and I have always enjoyed her work.She's a career stage actor that can do it all - comedy, camp, drama, sing, dance, roller skate and have puppet sex.I've seen her off-Broadway in Miracle Brothers, on tour and on Broadway in Avenue Q, and on Broadway in Xanadu.And I am looking forward to seeing her in Beautiful. But I have to admit that it was her moving, inspiring story as told by AN;KA LARSEN herself on Broadway.com ().It says it all about the woman and the Broadway community.It also explains why she is the perfect MS. BROADWAY for JANUARY 2014.
