Amy Spanger moved to New York with $2,000 and a self-imposed three-year deadline to become a Broadway star. She did it in two years and 10 months.“I got my first Broadway show from going to an open call,” says Spanger, adding that she found the audition for “Sunset Boulevard,” her debut, from a Back Stage notice. “I always mention Back Stage when I tell the story.”Spanger might not go to open calls anymore, but like any actor, she still auditions. When she received her appointment for the role of Gwendolyn in David Hyde Pierce’s interpretation of “The Importance of Being Earnest,” she immediately connected with the character. Pierce transplants the 1895 Oscar Wilde comedy from upper society to the gritty mafia world of 1930s America. It’s “Downton Abbey” meets “The Sopranos.” (Pierce initially wanted James Gandolfini to play Lady Bracknell, now being portrayed by Tyne Daly in the production.
