Kelly Bishop

from Backstage Babble · host cbroadwaypodcast

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Tony winner Kelly Bishop, whose memoir The Third Gilmore Girl is now out from Gallery Books. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including how A CHORUS LINE changed the trajectory of musical theater, how she ended up taking over for Stockard Channing in SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION, how dying her hair led to her Broadway debut in GOLDEN RAINBOW, why she didn’t prepare a Tonys acceptance speech, the miscasting that took place in ON THE TOWN, why PROPOSALS was a disappointing experience, breaking the fire code at the Public Theater, getting put into THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO, standing up to the creative team during RACHAEL LILY ROSENBLOOM…, why she loved her role in BECKY SHAW, going on the road with IRENE, and more. You won’t want to miss this interview with one of stage and screen’s best actresses.
