On this week’s show, Rob and Jamie spotlight “Soft Power”, the
innovative new “musical-within-a-play” currently playing at the
Public Theater. They are joined by playwright and lyricist
David Henry Hwang, director Leigh Silverman, and two of the show’s
stars: Francis Jue and Alyse Alan Louis. Together, they
discuss the unique structure of the piece, its inception and
content, changes made from California to New York, what it’s like
playing living figures as characters on stage, and the current
state of American democracy. Rob closes with some reflections on
seeing his boss, Secretary Clinton, reflected back on stage. This
week’s music: selections from “Soft Power” and “The March of the
Siamese Children” from “The King And I, 2015 Broadway Cast”. Find
