People behind the production
Ann Crumb (1960–2019) remains a distinguished figure in Broadway and concert stages. As the daughter of Pulitzer Prize‑winning composer George Crumb and sister to composer David Crumb, she built a robust career spanning Broadway, West End, and concert halls. Her Broadway debut arrived with Les Misérables in 1987, followed by acclaimed turns in Chess, The Goodbye Girl, Nine, and a Tony-nominated performance in Anna Karenina (1993). She originated the role of Rose Vibert in Aspects of Love on the West End and later in the Broadway production, showcasing a blend of operatic vocal finesse and musical theatre storytelling. Crumb also enriched regional theatre, touring companies like Evita, and performing in renowned regional houses such as the Guthrie, Coconut Grove, and Tennessee Repertory. On disc, she explored jazz with A Broadway Diva Swings (live with Harry Allen, 2000) and contributed to George Crumb‑themed recordings on Bridge Records, including Unto the Hills, The River of Life, Voices from the Heartland / Sun and Shadow, and more.
