Cate Blanchett Archives

Cate Blanchett and her husband, Andrew Upton, are all smiles as they attend the opening night of Spring Awakening at Sydney Theatre on Tuesday (February 9) in Sydney, Australia.

The 40-year-old actress and her husband serve as artistic directors at Sydney Theatre!

Spring Awakening , a musical set in the late 19th century that depicts teenagers discovering their sexualities, took home eight Tony Awards in 2007.

“This work really requires people who have got enough perspective and distance on their adolescence, and enough maturity to be able to interpret it,” Cate told The Australian.

“Usually when Spring Awakening is performed it’s done by people in their late 20s,” she continued. “But we’ve deliberately sought — and found — younger people who are able to do it. It’s really quite raw and confronting.”

Cate Blanchett wins the Best Actress in a Leading Role for her work in A Streetcar Named Desire at the 2009 Sydney Theatre Awards held at Club Swans on Monday (January 18) in Sydney, Australia.

The 40-year-old Australian actress and her husband Andrew Upton both share the role of artistic director at the theater company.

“But it does give me exquisite pleasure to pip the ubiquitous and, in my opinion, the much over-rated Cate Blanchett,” Cate joked after accepting the award. “I was at NIDA [National Institute Of Dramatic Art] with her and she was a sh**.”

Cate is getting great reviews for her work in A Streetcar Named Desire - NYTimes theater critic Ben Brantley raved, “What Ms. Blanchett brings to the character is life itself, a primal survival instinct that keeps her on her feet long after she has been buffeted by blows that would level a heavyweight boxer.”

The 40-year-old Aussie actress worea grey satin and black lace fitted Giorgio Armani Prive cocktail dress.

Cate is currently starring in the play, A Streetcar Named Desire, at BAM. The NYDN writes, “The casting of Blanchett, one of the heads of STC, has made this show one of the hottest tickets in town. So it’s fitting that [her character] Blanche’s shattered face is the first and last image seen in this three-hour-plus show. It’s a haunting sight, and the memory of it lingers long after this vehicle departs.”
