Tony Awards Preview: 'POTUS'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 10, 2022

[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.

"POTUS" is nominated at the 75th Tony Awards this Sunday for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for Rachel Dratch and Julie White, and for Best Scenic Design of a Play for Beowulf Boritt.
