Judith Chapman, best known as Gloria on the CBS soap opera The Young & the Restless, stars as Vivien Leigh in this fascinating portrait of one of the greatest film actresses of the twentieth century. Written by Rick Foster, the one-woman play explores the actress' triumphs in two monumentally successful films -- Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire -- her 20-year marriage to film legend Laurence Olivier, and the bipolar disorder that tortured her through most of her adult life.

I thought her portrayal of Vivien Leigh was amazing. She walked on stage and looked just like her. However, just as Ms. Leigh had an accent that made her hard to understand....this accent made it very, very hard and so too many words were lost to make it really enjoyable.
I was disappointed.

Quotes & Highlights

  • "It’s hard to imagine anybody inhabiting the role more convincingly than soap opera veteran Judith Chapman. Her mastery of Leigh’s mannerisms -- that cat-that-got-the-cream smile, that icy stare, that lilting voice -- is uncanny." --Los Angeles Times
  • "Actor Judith Chapman and director Elina de Santos offer much to savor in this smart and elegant showcase ... [Vivien] strikes a perfect balance between surveying her career and illuminating the joys and despair she experienced. This is a bravura performance, through and through." --Back Stage (Critic's Pick)
  • "It's passionate, theatrical and thoroughly engaging as Chapman and Leigh connect on more than one plateau. She lives and breathes this role, as hers is a dexterously physical and brilliantly impassioned tour-de-force performance. Vivien is not to be missed!" --broadwayworld.com
  • "This is simply terrific. What an extraordinary piece of writing. Rick Foster's range of understanding and recreating Vivien amazed and moved me with every page; all so marvelously in character." —Tarquin Olivier, Vivien Leigh's Stepson
