Teri Hatcher Aims to Correct Her Biggest Career Mistake

Hollywood actress Teri Hatcher confesses one of her biggest regrets to turning down the chance to perform on Broadway.

Teri 61 said she once spent months performing in Cabaret in the late 1990s, but decided against retaining the role of Sally Bowles when it transferred to the New York stage because she was “exhausted”.

Teri played Sally Bowles in a tour that moved across four cities over seven months and she said it was a very special time in her life.

She told People magazine: “I was thinking that I’ve always said my biggest regret, because I don’t believe in regret, but after I originated the tour of Sally Bowles in Cabaret from the Rob Marshall, Sam Mendes production back in like 1999… I did that in four cities over seven months with Norbert Leo Butz. It was an amazing experience.”

After that run, she was asked to continue the same role on Broadway in New York.

Teri said, “At the end of that, they asked me to come to Broadway, and I didn’t, because I had a young toddler. I’d already done it for seven months, and I was exhausted. But I look back and I think that was my chance to be on Broadway.”

Even now, she says she hopes another opportunity might still come in the future.

“So maybe I’ll get another one. I hope so.”

While Hatcher is still hoping for the chance to take the Broadway stage, she was there to support Chavira’s big debut.
