Ann, who was working on "Show Boat" in Switzerland, joined her husband in New York in February 2006. In September of that year, Ann made her American stage debut in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris", which also starred her husband. In 2007, she made her Broadway debut as Babette in the Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast" and was the final actress to play the role.1 Ann later moved back to Austria, where she currently resides with her husband and children. In 2009, she played the title role in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Evita" in the Dortmund Theater in Germany, as well as Gitta in the European premiere of the Gershwin musical "Pardon My English" at the Staatsoperette Dresden.
