Tovah Feldshuh Shows the World That “Aging Is Optional”

As she prepares to join the cast of "Funny Girl" on Broadway, Tovah Feldshuh talks about looking at possibilities rather than limits.

Given that Tovah Feldshuh made her Broadway debut almost fifty years ago, it would be understandable if she chose to retreat now into a comfortable life, traveling with her charming husband and enjoying her children and grandchildren. She could revel in a career that has included six Tony and Emmy award nominations, several Drama Desk awards, and an easy level of fame. But Tovah had other plans. She spent the last year appearing in four movies, walking the red carpet at Cannes, touring with her own cabaret show, and shooting a new TV series for Amazon. Then came the crowning moment last month when she was announced as one of the new stars in the Broadway production of Funny Girl.

I care about people of any age seeing me and thinking about what they can do for themselves.

“One thing that happens at this stage of life is you do not want to waste your time,” Tovah says.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
