All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 10, 2022

Ahead of Sunday's Tony Awards, today's show highlights All Of It interviews with cast and creators of the nominated shows.

[REBROADCAST FROM JANUARY 21, 2022] The new Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's 1970 Tony Award-winning musical "Company" switches the gender of many of the characters, including main character Bobbie, played by Tony Award-winner Katrina Lenk, and her best friend Jamie, now a gay man played by Matt Doyle. Lenk and Doyle join us to discuss the revival, which tells the story of a single woman turning 35, and contemplating whether it's time to get married.

[REBROADCAST FROM OCTOBER 21, 2021] The British musical “Six” was set to open in March 2020… and then Broadway was shut down. Now the pop musical, which tells the story of the six wives of King Henry VIII, has finally opened. Stars Brittney Mack, Samantha Pauly, and Anna Uzele join us to discuss the show, on now at the Brooks Atkinson Theater.

[REBROADCAST FROM MAY 3, 2022] The first ever revival of "Funny Girl," the musical about comedian Fanny Brice, is now on Broadway! We speak with Beanie Feldstein, who stars as Brice, and Jared Grimes, who plays choreographer Eddie Ryan and blows audiences away with his tap dancing routines. "Funny Girl" is running now at the August Wilson Theater.

[REBROADCAST FROM MARCH 22, 2022] The 2002 play, "Take Me Out," from Richard Greenberg tells the story of a professional baseball player who decides to come out of the closet, releasing a barrage of prejudice from his teammates that he wasn't prepared for. Greenberg, director Scott Ellis, and star Jesse Williams join us to discuss their revival of the play, which runs at the Second Stage Theater through May 29th.

[REBROADCAST FROM APRIL 21, 2022] The latest play from writer and actor Tracy Letts follows a small-town city council meeting that begins to reveal that all might not be well in the town of Big Cherry. Letts joins us to discuss his show, "The Minutes," which is on Broadway through July 24.

[REBROADCAST FROM MAY 9, 2022] A new comic play tells the story of seven women who work closely with the President of the United States, attempting to help alleviate a massive global crisis he inadvertently caused. Playwright Selina Fillinger joins us to discuss, "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," which is playing now on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre.
