On last night's LATE NIGHT, Annaleigh Ashford recalled the time she peed onstage while playing Annie as a 12-year old and then shows Seth her 'Puppet Judy' character, based on legendary actress Judy Garland. Later, the Tony winner discusses taking on the lead role in the Broadway revival of Sunday in the Park with George just six weeks after having a baby. Watch the clips below!
Sunday in the Park with George will run at the historic Hudson Theatre (139-141 West 44th Street) on Broadway for a strictly limited 10-week engagement. Directed by Sarna Lapine, the show will begin performances on February 11 and officially open on February 23rd, and will play through Sunday, April 23rd.

Sondheim and Lapine's masterpiece follows painter
Georges Seurat (
Jake Gyllenhaal) in the months leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Consumed by his need to "finish the hat," Seurat alienates the French bourgeoisie, spurns his fellow artists, and neglects his lover Dot (
Annaleigh Ashford), not realizing that his actions will reverberate over the next 100 years.
