Listen "My Life in the Theatre - Audra McDonald"
Episode Synopsis
One of the recurring multimedia series we make at Playbill is called My Life In The Theatre, and you can find it in the Playbill programs on Broadway, on our YouTube page, and on our website. The premise is simple: we hand a theatre legend a binder filled with Playbills of their past stage shows, and they talk to us about their time in each. The first episode we edited for this podcast was with Jonathan Groff, which got a great listener response. We wanted to turn our most recent installment into another podcast episode, especially because it features the absolute legend that is Audra McDonald, the most Tony-awarded actor in Broadway’s history, who had just finished her run in the iconic revival of Gypsy.We’ll set the scene: it’s Audra McDonald at a table, with a microphone and a big binder filled with a lot of Playbills, and a lot of memories.For those who want to watch this episode instead, click this link here!01:39 - The Secret Garden03:34 - Carousel 08:17 - Master Class11:12 - Ragtime14:25 - Marie Christine17:51 - Henry IV20:43 - A Raisin in the Sun22:40 - 110 in the Shade25:14 - Porgy and Bess26:55 - Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill30:01 - Shuffle Along, Or….31:58 - Frankie and Johnny in the Clare 34:12 - Ohio State Murders36:28 - Gypsy Hosted on Acast.
