Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with theater veteran Kate Jennings Grant. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including the secret to her role in PROOF, a full-circle moment with GUYS AND DOLLS, working with the late, great Mark Brokaw and Linda Lavin on THE LYONS, a tip from Vanessa Redgrave, why Christopher Durang wanted her to play the lead in THE MARRIAGE OF BETTE AND BOO, meeting her husband Doug Hughes during BEARD OF AVON, starring in tours of APPLAUSE and FINIAN’S RAINBOW, how Wendy Wasserstein gave her her screen debut, why she loves singing Stephen Sondheim’s music, the notes George C. Wolfe gave her during RADIANT BABY, the joys of co-starring with Wendie Malick in BLITHE SPIRIT, why she turned down SPAMALOT, the injury that caused her brief leave from OLD FRIENDS, the intensity of co-starring with Glenn Close in MOTHER OF THE MAID, coming out of the pandemic with MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, researching her role as Diane Sawyer in FROST/NIXON, what she learned from Tammy Grimes during A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, why NOISES OFF was like training for the Olympics, and so much more. Don’t miss this open conversation with one of Broadway’s best.
