In this special rerun of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg welcomes the multitalented Tony Award-winning star Laura Benanti for a conversation that's both unforgettable and fiercely real. Laura opens up about the high-wire act of being a working performer and a parent, sharing stories from her early Broadway debut at 18 to the surprising joys of suburban life in New Jersey. She talks about negotiating equity in her marriage, resisting outdated gender expectations, and the invisible labor of motherhood—even when you're the family breadwinner. Laura also shares her experience with postpartum depression and multiple miscarriages, including a deeply personal account of suffering a miscarriage while performing on a cruise ship, with her six-year-old daughter singing beside her. She reflects on the lack of public dialogue around pregnancy loss and why she felt compelled to speak out. The episode touches on ghost stories, crystal wands, and her daughter's Halloween exposure therapy via a 12-foot skeleton. Plus, hear how Laura turned texts with a friend into the hilarious and empowering book M Is for Mama (and also Merlot)—written for moms who are tired of the prairie-dress fantasy. The phrase “medical disappointment” might just become your new go-to for life's curveballs.

They talk about the historical lack of opportunities for Asian Americans in theatre, enjoying a moment of hope in the wake of recent successes, and why Maybe Happy Ending's re-casting is such a disappointment on multiple levels. Also: The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of this moment in Asian American theatre.

Billy Joel has reportedly sold more than 160 million albums. He’s been nominated for 24 Grammy Awards (and won six of them), an Emmy, and a Tony Award (which he won). In the U.S., he’s had 33 top 40 singles and 11 top 10 albums. He’s simply one of the most popular recording artists in the history of music. But. Critics have never been terribly kind to him, and a lot of the general public hasn’t either. This hour, we look at the new two-part, nearly five-hour HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes. And we look at Billy Joel more generally and at the love/hate relationship we all seem to have had with him and his music for more than 50 years now.

Eine scheinbar heitere Abendgesellschaft: gute Laune, kluge Gespräche. Doch etwas stimmt nicht - die Gastgeberin fehlt. Stattdessen ist ein fremder Herr zu Gast, der sich als Psychologe entpuppt und beginnt, den Anwesenden mit ihren Beziehungsproblemen zu helfen. Aus der leichten Atmosphäre wird ein Drama über Entfremdung und die Suche nach dem eigenen Weg. Leben wir aus Pflicht oder aus Überzeugung? Ist Sicherheit erfüllend - oder braucht es mehr im Leben, etwas Spirituelles? 1950 wurde Cocktailparty mit dem Tony Award als bestes Theaterstück am Broadway ausgezeichnet. Mit: Hans Caninenberg, Erik Schumann, Margot Trooger, Luitgard Im, Robert Meyn, Uwe Friedrichsen u. v. a. Regie: Ulrich Lauterbach hr 1964 | ca. 120 Min. (Audio verfügbar bis 08.08.2026)

During his 14 seasons, he has produced 89 Muny shows, 37 new to The Muny stage. He is also a 9 Time Tony Award winning Broadway producer. After his first season at The Muny, The Riverfront Times wrote, “Under the leadership of executive producer Mike Isaacson the quality of Muny productions rose like the proverbial phoenix.” During his tenure, Isaacson has changed the look and feel of The Muny, overseeing a transformation in every aspect of production that culminated in 2019 with the arrival of the theatre's extraordinary James S.

If Jim Caruso's name sounds familiar, that's not surprising. Jim is also host of the wildly popular “Cast Party” which has been a Manhattan mainstay for more than two decades at the iconic Birdland Jazz Club.   In 2011, this irrepressible, affable, and talented singer recorded and released an album titled, “The Swing Set,” which he calls a true labor of love. It's  a smart and sophisticated romp through the Great American Songbook. In it, Jim was joined by special musical guests including the late guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli, jazz violin sensation Aaron Weinstein, pianist and singer Billy Stritch, music phenom Michael Feinstein and Tony Award-winning Broadway leading lady Stephanie J. Block.   Fast forward to 2025 and this album has now been given a new life and has a new label behind it called Club 44 Records. The album has been remastered and re-released as the Swing Set-Deluxe Edition. As Caruso says about the recording..“But wait – there's more, this Deluxe Edition comes with two surprise additions: a hilariously fun new track featuring my musical partner-in-crime Billy Stritch at the piano, and a fresh take on an old recording with the divine Jane Monheit.  While the album released in streaming and digital formats last spring,  it took us until now to nail him down for a conversation. So on that note, enjoy my conversation with the delightful man of the hour himself...Jim Caruso.

What if, instead of just watching Hamlet, you could step inside the prince's mind? A revelatory new audio production reimagines Shakespeare's iconic tragedy as a first-person experience told through Hamlet's POV. We only hear the scenes in which he appears—every soliloquy becomes an inner monologue, every whisper a voice in our ears. With stunning binaural sound design by Tony Award–winner Mikhail Fiksel and an intimate, close-mic performance by Daniel Kyri (“Chicago Fire”) as the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet is transformed into a deeply personal journey through grief, paranoia, memory, and resolve. The six-episode podcast of Hamlet is produced by Make-Believe Association, an audio storytelling group based in Chicago. The production, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June, includes performances by John Douglas Thompson as Claudius (and the Ghost), Sharon Washington as Gertrude, and Jacob Ming-Trent as Polonius. In this episode, director Jeremy McCarter shares how technology unlocked new layers of intimacy and urgency in Shakespeare's play—and why, more than 400 years later, Hamlet's questions still resonate. >>>Listen to Hamlet at hamlet.fm or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Davide Tortorella"La vita normale"Yasmina RezaAdelphiwww.adelphi.it"La vita normale", traduzione a cura di Davide Tortorella.«Per me il tribunale è un luogo di osservazione come un altro, come la strada, o la mia camera da letto» ha risposto Yasmina Reza quando le è stato chiesto perché, da quindici anni, segua processi, oscuri o clamorosi, in giro per la Francia. «Colui che crediamo altro da noi non lo è» afferma Reza, che, lasciando ai cronisti giudiziari il loro mestiere e alla giustizia di cercare (invano?) un senso nel caos, preferisce fare un passo di lato – e ogni volta spiazza il lettore. Senza curarsi di proclamare verità universali e concentrandosi invece su «frammenti di umanità» – un gesto, una frase, una postura, un dettaglio dell'abbigliamento –, Reza riesce a cogliere, nelle esistenze degli imputati, dei testimoni e delle vittime, qualcosa che non di rado alla giustizia sfugge, e che a quelle esistenze ci accomuna. È «la vita normale», che segue come un'ombra la sua controparte assassina, sovrapponendosi continuamente a essa. Come nel caso della donna che, un mattino di novembre, «incalzata, spinta da una forza senza nome», esce di casa per andare su una spiaggia ad abbandonare sua figlia alle onde, e poi torna a chiudersi nell'opacità della sua esistenza, «presente senza esserlo, come a strapiombo su sé stessa». A lei e ad altri fantasmi è dedicato questo libro. Fantasmi che irrompono sulla scena accanto a quelli dell'autrice, che ha la capacità, propria solo dei grandi scrittori, di insinuarsi nella psiche del lettore senza lasciargli il tempo di comprendere ciò che ha appena letto.«Yasmina Reza appartiene senza alcun dubbio alla famiglia dei grandi ironisti, tra Kafka, Bellow e Bashevis Singer» («Livres Hebdo»).Yasmina RezaDrammaturga, scrittrice, attrice e sceneggiatrice francese, le cui opere teatrali sono state adattate e rappresentate in molti Paesi e hanno ricevuto svariati premi. Figlia di un ingegnere iraniano e di una violinista ungherese di origine ebraica, comincia la sua carriera teatrale come attrice, partecipando a rappresentazioni di opere contemporanee e di classici di Molière e Marivaux. La prima pièce da lei scritta, Conversations après un enterrement, rappresentata per la prima volta nel 1987, la vale il Premio Molière come miglior autore; La traversée de l'hiver vince invece il Molière come miglior spettacolo regionale.Il successo internazionale arriva con l'opera successiva, Art (1994; Einaudi 2006), tradotta e rappresentata in oltre trenta lingue, per cui la Reza viene nuovamente premiata con il Molière per il miglior autore, il Premio Laurence Olivier e l'Evening Standard Award come miglior commedia (1997) e il Tony Award per il miglior spettacolo (1998); il romanzo Babylone, pubblicato da Flemmarion, ha vinto invece il premio Renaudot (2016).Tra le sue pubblicazioni: Al di sopra delle cose (Archinto 2000), Una desolazione (Bompiani 2003), Uomini incapaci di farsi amare (Bompiani 2006), L'alba, la sera o la notte (Bompiani 2007), Il dio del massacro (Adelphi 2011), Da nessuna parte (Archinto 2012), Felici i felici (Adelphi 2013), Babilonia (Adelphi 2017), «Arte» (Adelphi 2018), Bella figura (Adelphi 2019), Anne-Marie la beltà (Adelphi 2021), Serge (Adelphi 2022), La vita normale (Adelphi 2025).Davide Tortorella è traduttore, editor e autore televisivo.

The Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown is a fantastic retelling of the myths of Orpheus' journey to the Underworld to rescue Eurydice alongside the marriage of Hades and Persephone, set amidst the visual and musical elements of New Orleans during the 1920s and 1930s. On this episode, we visit with guitarist, songwriter, and producer Sam Wade, who has been on the road with the traveling version of this stunning musical for most of the last year and will continue in that role again next year. Wade has been a friend and collaborator of ours for a few years. He has produced a few songs for my wife, Michelle Lynn Thompson, including her song “Riptide.” (Listen closely for an instrumental snippet in the background of this episode.) He will also be joining me (JJT) for my set at the Audiofeed festival this summer and backing up Michelle for hers as well. We jumped at the chance to see him and the rest of the company in action with Hadestown when they came through Chattanooga recently, and to catch up with him to see what it's been like to travel with a production like this.

Jeffrey Seller is an Tony Award-winning American theatrical producer best known for his work on Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights, and Hamilton, as well as inventing Broadway's first rush ticket and lottery ticket policies. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1986, Jeffrey moved to New York City where he worked, as a publicist, booking agent, and producer. With his business partner Kevin McCollum he produced three Best Musical Tony Award-winning Broadway shows; Rent, Avenue Q, and In the Heights. With increasingly expensive Broadway ticket prices, Seller and McCollum invented Broadway's first rush ticket policy early on in the production of Rent. The idea was to keep the show accessible for people “in their 20s and 30s, artists, Bohemians-the people for whom Jonathan Larson wrote the show.” A select number of front row tickets would be sold for $20 on a first come per-serve basis. Rush tickets became so popular that people began to sleep on the streets outside the theater to get a spot at the front of the line. Out of concern for the safety of those who participated in the Rush policy Seller and McCollum created Broadway's first lottery ticket policy, which kept cheap tickets accessible to a young audience by selling $20 tickets to the winners of a drawing. Together Seller and McCollum also produced De La Guarda, Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, High Fidelity, and the revival of WestSide Story. After working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights, he produced Hamilton. Hamilton has gone on to receive widespread critical acclaim and commercial success. In June 2016, Hamilton received 11 Tony awards of a record-breaking 16 nominations, including a Best Musical win for Seller, making it his fourth Tony Award. He is the author of the memoir, Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
