Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Tony nominee Elizabeth Stanley, who will be starring in the newly announced production of Disruption. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including John Rando’s mantra for ON THE TOWN, the unique vibe of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, what Stephen Sondheim changed about “You Could Drive A Person Crazy” in COMPANY, memories of Mark Brokaw and Adam Schlesinger, why CRY-BABY didn’t succeed on Broadway, learning to skate for XANADU, performing THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY across the country, collaborating with Suzan-Lori Parks on THE RED LETTER PLAYS, her journey with JAGGED LITTLE PILL before and after the pandemic, what drew her to ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE, the genius of Savion Glover and Andy Blankenbuehler, and so much more. Don’t miss this wide-ranging conversation with one of Broadway’s best leading ladies.
