S10 Ep44: Laura Benanti, Broadway royalty

Tony winner Laura Benanti is In The Frame!

You know Laura for her astounding Broadway career, which includes roles such as Maria in The Sound of Music, Cinderella in Into The Woods, Claudia in Nine, Julia in The Wedding Singer, Louise in Gypsy (which won her the Tony), Candela in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Amalia in She Loves Me and Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.

Beyond Broadway, Laura’s career spans concerts, television, film and comedy - she has been seen on everything from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to Younger, Gossip Girl and HBO’s The Gilded Age.

Laura has spent the last month in the UK, performing her solo show Nobody Cares to sold out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Before heading back to the US, Laura is bringing the show to London for two performances at Underbelly Boulevard Soho.

In this episode, Laura discusses her path to Edinburgh, how she has changed as a person and performer throughout her career… and why she’s proudly unapologetic about who she is and what she’s got to say!

Laura performs Nobody Cares at Underbelly Boulevard Soho on Tuesday 2nd September. Visit www.underbellyboulevard.com for info and tickets.
