With a slatwart attitude much like that of the play's title character, Golda's Balcony soldiered on despite a relatively weak market for original plays on Broadway over the past 15 months. The production even seemed to contain an element foreshadowing as the current season is proving to be lined with one-person shows put up by financially-minded producers.

Golda's Balcony began life at Off-Broadway's Manhattan Ensemble Theatre (currently enjoying success with another one-woman show, Nine Parts of Desire) before transferring and becoming the longest-running one-woman show in Broadway history on Oct. 3, 2004.
The production next plays Los Angeles' Wadsworth Theatre beginning Feb. 1.
