Podcast appearances and mentions of Nathan Lane

Beacon actors will 'cold read' work Like thousands of actors before him, from Australia to Zimbabwe, Alexander Florez will rip open a sealed manila envelope tonight (May 16) and cold read a 2010 play, White Rabbit Red Rabbit, in the backyard of his Beacon home. Two other performers will take the plunge in yards on Saturday and Sunday. The premise - some call it a gimmick - is that everyone in a confined space takes an hour-long journey akin to a one-off jazz solo. Though details have leaked, audiences and the theater community (including reporters) have kept the broad outline and most revealing moments under wraps. The playwright, Nassim Soleimanpour, includes a clause in the contract for producers: "This play is not overtly political and should not be portrayed as such. It operates on a deeper, metaphoric level, and very expressly avoids overt political comment. All media and press agents have to keep in mind that the playwright lives in Iran. We therefore ask the press to be judicious in their reportage." Florez is a math teacher who will never pass muster with the grammar police. He avoids capital letters as an act of resistance and his email tag links to "the case for lowercase" style guide on his website, which includes instructions about turning off caps on devices and in programs. "I have a lot of respect and disdain for academia," he says. "I'm impressed with education but also dismayed with the gatekeeping and barriers to entry. One way to oppress is by making complicated grammar and spelling rules the standard for everyone, even though a select few invented them." Pushback against authority is reflected in the play. According to Soleimanpour, he wrote it after he refused to serve in the Iranian military and the regime denied him a visa to leave the country. (He is now thought to live in Berlin.) The production requires props, but the playwright's website touts the lack of sets, directors and rehearsals. Studying for his practical teaching certificate at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, Florez fell in with the acting crowd (he works at the Manitou School in Philipstown). After bouncing around the Hudson Valley, he moved to Beacon in 2022 and got involved with the improv and comedy scene. White Rabbit Red Rabbit had an off-Broadway run in 2016: Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg and Alan Cumming, among others, unsealed the script and got to work - for the first and last time. Playbill called it "the most-talked about (and least-talked about) new show." Beacon resident Jamie Mulligan read the script to prepare the actors, gather props and make staging suggestions. But per the legal agreement, the plot and other elements may not be divulged or discussed by anyone involved. At first, Florez figured he'd reach out to local performance venues, but Mulligan suggested staging the play at an art gallery, coffeehouse or other offbeat space. James Phillips, a theater professor at Mount Saint Mary, will read in his yard on Saturday and Twinkle Burke walks the high wire on Sunday outside the home of Hannah Brooks (with contingency plans for inclement weather). The play stems from experimental theater of the 1960s, Mulligan says, and "requires the audience and actor to encounter these subjects simultaneously, a connection that creates a level of spark that can only happen when everyone learns about this together." Broad outlines address elements of existential oppression and the role of individuals in society. "Someone told me that every play is about hope, so it places the human condition into primal conflicts, like man versus nature or man versus god," says Mulligan. That so many details have remained a secret for 15 years "speaks to the integrity of theater-makers." White Rabbit Red Rabbit will be performed by Florez at 7 p.m. at 119 Howland Ave. in Beacon, at 7 p.m., on Saturday (May 17) at 24 Willow St. by Phillips and at 3 p.m. on Sunday at 99 E. Main St. by Burke. Tickets are $10 to $32.24 at dub.sh/white-rabbit.

We're talking The Frogs, perhaps the ultimate curio in the Sondheim canon. Originally staged at Yale as a side project during Sondheim's golden 70s, the show was eventually brought to Broadway in 2004 -- still the most recent Broadway debut for Sondheim -- by Nathan Lane, who expanded the original version and got Steve to write some new songs. Now a more recognizable work -- though still an off-beat one -- another major production is set for the London stage. But where do Shannon and Erik come down on this most peculiar of Sondheim shows? We discuss "It's Only a Play."

Q&A on Mid-Century Modern with creators & showrunners Max Mutchnik and David Kohan. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. Mid-Century Modern is an American comedy television series created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan that premiered on Hulu on March 28, 2025. It stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Linda Lavin, and Nathan Lee Graham.

In this fabulously full-bodied episode of G&T Sips and Giggles: One For The Road, Glenn and Tina Leggs Tantrum serve up a cheeky cocktail of queer culture, royal drama, national obsessions, and reality TV chaos.First, the pair sip their way through Mid-Century Modern – the new Hulu/Disney+ series hailed as a “spiritual cousin” to The Golden Girls, starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and the late Linda Lavin in her final screen role. Expect warm takes on chosen family, ageing in the LGBTQ+ community, and a whole lot of Palm Springs fabulousness.Next, it's time for a royal reckoning as they unpack Prince Harry's turbulent month — from his dramatic exit from the charity Sentebale to his ongoing battle over UK security and the diverging paths he and Meghan Markle seem to be taking.Then it's back to Blighty for some classic British banter about the weather. Why are we so obsessed? Is climate consciousness finally catching up with our endless moaning? And what even is in garden soil that boosts our mood? (Spoiler: it's not just the Pinot.)Finally, Tina and Glenn preview the glittering line-up for Celebrity Big Brother 2025 — from Mickey Rourke to JoJo Siwa — and ask whether this revamped series can live up to the chaos of its heyday. With a smaller house and live audience feedback on the cards, it's bound to be explosive.Tune in for nostalgia, nobility, and nasal spray – all in a tight forty-minute package. Stay shady, but in the good way.Got a question or a funny story for Sip & Share, then why not get in touch.

Movie of the Year: 1996The Birdcage (feat. Andrea Thompson from A Reel Of One's Own!)The Movie of the Year podcast takes a deep dive into The Birdcage (1996), a groundbreaking comedy that blends family dynamics, farce, and fearless LGBTQ+ representation. In this episode, the hosts explore how The Birdcage helped shift mainstream perceptions of queerness in the '90s, all while delivering standout performances from Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and showcasing the directorial mastery of Mike Nichols. Whether you're watching the film for the first time or revisiting it, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging look at why The Birdcage continues to matter.Listen to the episode now:[Podcast Player Embed Here]Gender, Sexuality, and Queer Representation in The BirdcageThe podcast opens with an in-depth discussion of how The Birdcage portrays gender and sexuality with both humor and dignity. At a time when LGBTQ+ characters were often relegated to the margins of pop culture, The Birdcage celebrated queer life, drag culture, and same-sex relationships. The hosts explore the film's role in pushing boundaries and normalizing visibility, particularly in a cultural moment still defined by Don't Ask, Don't Tell and lingering AIDS-era stigma.Robin Williams in One of His Most Subtle, Heartfelt RolesKnown for his exuberant performances, Robin Williams delivers one of his most emotionally restrained roles as Armand Goldman. The podcast explores how Williams balances warmth, wit, and gravitas, crafting a character who is both deeply human and quietly revolutionary. The hosts compare this performance to Williams' other work from the '90s and consider how his presence lends the film emotional credibility and depth.Mike Nichols' Directing BrillianceDirector Mike Nichols adapts the French farce La Cage aux Folles into a uniquely American satire, using timing, character dynamics, and visual composition to heighten both comedy and emotional impact. The hosts break down Nichols' directing choices, from rapid-fire dialogue to carefully choreographed scenes, showing how his vision shapes the film's tone and political commentary.Is The Birdcage Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts?One of the most spirited conversations in the episode centers on whether The Birdcage works because of its individual elements—such as the writing, performances, and production design—or because those elements merge into something greater. The hosts highlight iconic scenes like the chaotic dinner party and the nightclub sequences to show how the film achieves synergy between script, performance, and direction.Identity and the Meaning of LifeBeyond its sharp humor, The Birdcage asks deep questions about identity, authenticity, and acceptance. The hosts analyze the tension between performance and reality, especially in the context of Armand and Val's relationship, and explore how characters navigate the pressures of conformity and family expectations. This section connects the film to broader philosophical ideas about the meaning of life, love, and self-expression.Special Guest: Andrea Thompson from A Reel Of Our OwnJoining the discussion is film critic Andrea Thompson, founder of A Reel Of Our Own, a platform dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices in film. Andrea brings a fresh critical perspective to the episode, exploring how The Birdcage portrays queer identity with compassion, nuance, and humor. She also discusses the film's lasting influence on LGBTQ+ media and its place in queer film history.How The Birdcage Holds Up in 2024The podcast team revisits The Birdcage...

'Mid-Century Modern' star Matt Bomer joins the show. Over a sizzling fish and crab fried rice, Matt told me about working with legends Nathan Lane and Linda Lavin (rest in peace) on the new Hulu series ‘Mid-Century Modern,' what it's like to be nearly an empty nester and we share strong feelings about a certain sandal.

Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Tony nominee Daniel Davis. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary carer, including his fateful audition for COCO, bringing Katharine Hepburn to dinner with his parents, the disagreement he had with Ian McKellen about AMADEUS, what he admired about Gavin Creel in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, competing with Roddy McDowall for the role of Niles in THE NANNY, taking inspiration from Eric Blore and Arthur Treacher, acting with Eva Le Gallienne in ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, his unexpected Tony nomination for WRONG MOUNTAIN, the gift he got from Tom Stoppard during THE INVENTION F LOVOE, the difficulty of doing NOISES OFF at the American Airlines Theater, how Nathan Lane thought of him for THE FROGS, a full-circle moment appearing on ELSBETH, the challenge of playing Iago in OTHELLO, how he almost replaced Len Cariou in SWEENEY TODD, and so much more. Don't miss this honest conversation with a true veteran of the American stage.

Jackie's teeth Tony is a whistlin', parentfluencers are shillin' a 3 figure box that tells your kids a story without a screen (aka a RADIO), Chappell Roan is PREACHING 'bout havin' kids too young, and the newest Baldwin episode is literally just about a rug and not worth missing the opera for, so Jackie gives a 5 second (too long possibly) synopsis. 'The Studio' is great and filled with stars, and worth payin' for Apple TV, it's dropping weekly and there's 3 eps right now. Jackie recommends 'Midcentury Modern', a new sitcom on Hulu starring Nathan Lane that's essentially 'Golden Girls' with gay men. 'The Pitt' demands your full attention and your full tear ducts RIGHT. NOW. but 'Death of a Unicorn' DOES NOT. There's 4 Beatles movies bein' created by Sam Mendez that all intersect for a "bingeable" theatre experience, which leads to a possible sighting of a giant Liverpool lap lizard, a film based on Britney Spear's memoir 'The Woman Inside Me', and JoJo Siwa is pulling a Gene Simmons with a personal assistant VIP package, but at least her comes with a ticket to the show. Mike White of 'White Lotus' has kicked up a mess by going on terminal weirdo and transphobe Andrew Sullivan's podcast, 'Love on the Spectrum' Season 3 dropped and accidentally kept Jackie from sleepin', Cardi B's kid drew on her $60,000 bag BECAUSE CELEBS ARE JUST LIKE US! Rambo nearly ruined an impromtru Jackie's Snackies as his final act before he started checkin' Sundae the Black Lab's Instagram from the sky, Jackie goes over a list of April Fool's Day products, but sadly Snooki's fried pickle ice cream isn't one of them. Want even more Page 7?

It is our annual tribuite to the God of Musical Theater, Stephen Sondheim, and for this year's festival we are exploring some songs of his from the shows that people rarely place among their favorites. The unloved, the ignored, the obscure, and the forgotten. Or, in this case, a show that many know, but doesn't tend to get thought of as a "Sondheim" show. It's time for a song from his first produced show writing both music and lyrics: "Comedy Tonight" from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

A gay Golden Girls? Say more! While Hulu's new show Mid-Century Modern is not the Golden Girls, it certainly gives you the nostalgia love bug for the Golden Girls. Because of that, we asked the show's stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham which Golden Girl they are.  We also compared the pilot of the Golden Girls to Mid-Century Modern, because both are brilliant.  Listen to H. Alan Scott's full chat with Nathan, Nathan Lee and Matt on Newsweek's Parting Shot.

When Will & Grace premiered on NBC in 1998, it was groundbreaking because of the sheer lack of queer representation on network TV. Since then, numerous sitcoms have increased LGBTQ+ visibility on TV, but rarely gay characters of an older generation. To fill that void, those same Will & Grace creators, Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, developed Hulu's Mid-Century Modern to show that while a multi-camera sitcom with three gay male leads is rare, the stories they are telling are universal. Led by Nathan Lane's Bunny Schneiderman, Mid-Century Modern finds undergarment tycoon Bunny inviting his two best friends—Jerry (played by Matt Bomer) and Arthur (played by Nathan Lee Graham)—to move in with him and his mother, Sybil (played by Linda Lavin). It is after the passing of one of their mutual friends that Bunny opens up his Palm Springs home. Newsweek's H. Alan Scott chats with Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham about Mid-Century Modern, how it came about, and why it's so important right now.

1997's Mouse Hunt. I don't think we're dealing with an ordinary movie. This episode we discuss the Nathan Lane physical comedy Mouse Hunt with all its mouse trappings. Will something from such an innocent time in our lives prove comforting (even if its housing and job security issues sting a little now), or will we find that a movie without social consciousness... is chaos?

In this episode of the 3 Geeks Podcast, we sit down with the incredibly talented Amie Mackenzie, an American bi-coastal actor making major moves in 2024. With eight exciting projects this year, Amie is proving to be a rising force in television and film. She kicked off the year with a role in Elsbeth (Season 1), followed by a standout appearance in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, where she shares the screen with Nathan Lane in a stunning dinner party scene. Later this year, audiences can catch her in a Netflix series alongside Nestor Carbonell, and she has also landed a role in Taylor Sheridan's highly anticipated new show, The Madison, playing an entitled frenemy of Michelle Pfeiffer's character. We also dive into Amie's role in Dexter: Original Sin, the upcoming prequel to the hit Showtime series. She shares insights into working on the project, what fans can expect from this fresh take on Dexter's early years, and how it was stepping into the world of one of TV's most iconic crime dramas. With her ability to seamlessly navigate between thrilling crime series and prestige dramas, Amie's versatility is undeniable. Beyond television, Amie's film career is also taking off. She recently worked on a project with Alicia Vikander and Wagner Moura, expected to make the festival rounds in late 2025 or early 2026. Her involvement in the Sundance Director's Lab led to another feature film opportunity, which is also set for festival releases next year. Before this breakout year, Amie had already built an impressive resume with roles in Better Call Saul, AJ and the Queen (alongside RuPaul), MacGruber, Deputy, Messiah, and Taylor Sheridan's 1923.

Kyle, Joe, and Rick review the animated musical, The Lion King, which is currently on Disney+. Directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, and written by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton, with music from Hans Zimmer, Tim Rice, and Elton John. The film stars Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Jason Weaver, Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, and James Earl Jones.

We've already reviewed the two big movies of the week -- "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" -- so we turned to a couple of new movies streaming on Netflix on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. The first is "Spellbound," an animated, musical fairy tale starring Rachel Zegler as a teenage princess trying to save her parents, the king and queen, who've been turned into monsters. It's colorful and vibrant but unoriginal, and the songs from the legendary composer Alan Menken are just so-so. Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, John Lithgow and Nathan Lane are among the star-studded supporting cast. A better choice on Netflix is "The Piano Lesson," based on the Pulitzer prize-winning August Wilson play. John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, Samuel L. Jackson, Corey Hawkins and Ray Fisher star in this story about an African-American family debating what to do with a piano that's an important heirloom. And in our movie news livestream, we discussed the week's major releases, Sebastian Stan, Jussie Smollett, and our dear friend Amy Nicholson being named the LA Times' new film critic.
