Uma Thurman made her Broadway debut in The Parisian Woman. In addition to Thurman’s extensive film work (theater crowds remember her comedic turn as Ulla in the film remake of The Producers), Thurman appeared in a 1999 revival of Moliere's The Misanthrope at Classic Stage Company and took part in the John Moran opera Book of the Dead (2nd Avenue) as narrator at the Public Theater in 2000.
