Rupert Holmes & Michelle Azar on Bringing RBG to the Stage!

Rupert Holmes and Michelle Azar join The Roundtable to talk about their powerful theatrical event, All Things Equal: The Life & Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, now touring the country and stopping at Detroit’s historic Fisher Theatre. Rupert — the Tony Award–winning writer of The Mystery of Edwin Drood and the voice behind the iconic “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” — shares how he crafted an intimate, witty, and deeply human portrait of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Michelle opens up about stepping into RBG’s chambers each night, embodying her intellect, humor, and quiet ferocity as she recounts her journey from Harvard Law to the Supreme Court bench. We talk about the responsibility of telling this story in today’s political climate, the laughter and lump-in-your-throat moments that audiences experience, and why this ninety-minute theatrical experience feels both timely and timeless. From scrunchies to dissents, from Piña Coladas to Tony Awards — this is a conversation about legacy, artistry, and the enduring power of standing up for what’s right.
