[REBROADCAST FROM OCT. 27, 2022] For the first time ever on a Broadway stage, the Loman family of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" are being played by Black actors. Wendell Pierce, who stars as Willy Loman, and Sharon D. Clarke, who stars as Linda Loman, join us to discuss this interpretation of the classic play.

[REBROADCAST FROM MAR. 3, 2023] Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain stars in the new Broadway adaptation of the classic feminist play, "A Doll's House." Chastain and playwright Amy Herzog join us to discuss the new, incredibly pared back production.

[REBROADCAST FROM OCT. 6, 2022] Martyna Majok's play "Cost of Living" won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and now the show is headed to Broadway, with returning stars Katy Sullivan and Gregg Mozgala reprising their original roles. The story follows two pairs of people, one disabled and one able bodied, and explores their relationships with one another. Majok and Sullivan join us to discuss, along with David Zayas, who joins the production playing the ex-husband to Sullivan's character.

[REBROADCAST FROM MAY 25, 2023] The new Broadway revival of "Parade" has earned six Tony nominations, including one each for leading man Ben Platt and director Michael Arden. They join us to discuss this show, which tells the story of the 1915 lynching of Leo Frank, a Jewish man accused of murder.

[REBROADCAST FROM JAN. 19, 2023] As we continue our preview of the Tony Awards this weekend, we talk to Bonnie Milligan and Alli Mauzey, who play sisters in the heartwarming musical "Kimberly Akimbo," which tells the story of a young woman with a rare condition which makes her appear much older than she is. Milligan and Mauzey play Kimberly's aunt and mom, respectively.
