THE KING’S SPEECH at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
Michelle was happy to return to Chicago Shakespeare Theater this fall, this time to understudy the role of Mrs. Wallis Simpson in The King's Speech. Though she didn’t have the pleasure of going on this time around, Michelle was honored and thrilled to be in the room with this all-star cast, which included Harry Hadden-Paton (Broadway’s My Fair Lady, Downton Abbey, The Crown) and James Frain (The Tudors, True Blood, The White Queen) as well as Chicago all-stars Elizabeth Ledo, Kevin Gudahl, and John Judd. Closing on October 20th at CST after a highly-acclaimed run, the production will begin a national tour in early 2020.
