Joe Mantello


Listen Later

Today, I’m thrilled to announce the release of my episode with legendary director and actor Joe Mantello. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including why he decided to stop acting after ANGELS IN AMERICA, what it meant that Terrence McNally took a chance on him with LOVE! VALOUR! COMPASSION!, working with and without Stephen Sondheim on HERE WE ARE, what he learned from Glenda Jackson in THREE TALL WOMEN, why he had the sound designer in the rehearsal room during GREY HOUSE, the unique experience of I’LL EAT YOU LAST, the process of maintaining WICKED, his experience with CORPUS CHRISTI and the backlash that came with it, what has made him decide to act on Broadway in THE NORMAL HEART and THE GLASS MENAGERIE, staging sensitive scenes in TAKE ME OUT and FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIR DE LUNE, what it was like making his Broadway debut with WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway’s most brilliant directors.
