I've seen Ziemba give two superb performances in non-singing/dancing roles. One was as Ouisa in SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION at the Old Globe. The other was as M'Lynn in STEEL MAGNOLIAS at Cape May Stage. (Ziemba and her husband are longtime summer residents of Cape May). Her Ouisa was far better than the two other actresses I've seen in the role, Allison Janney and Margaret Colin, both of whom on paper would seem more right for the part. And she really elevated STEEL MAGNOLIAS out of the realm of mawkishness.

That was the best Six Degrees I've ever seen.

It's the Six Degrees that should have come to Broadway rather than the Janney production. Both were directed by Trip Cullman, but the latter production was such a misfire while the Globe production was both laugh out loud funny (I can still see the chubby kid with the yellow walkman screaming, "You're an idiot!") and incredibly moving--I get goosebumps when I think of Ziemba's delivery of "It was an experience." I've seen three productions and she was the only Ouisa whom I didn't compare to Channing the whole time. She, Thomas Jay Ryan and the actor who played Paul were all sensational. I would love to have seen her M'Lynn.
