Discussing Life in Quarantine and ‘The Good Fight’ with the Ladies of ‘The Talk@Home’

On Tuesday, May 12, Audra McDonald sat virtually with the women of CBS’s The Talk (currently called The Talk@Home) to chat about a variety of topics including this season of The Good Fight.

Audra dished on her current situation of quarantining with a full house, her role as the host of the upcoming Covenant House benefit concert, as well as upcoming episodes of The Good Fight. Of the current season Audra said, “The characters deal with issues within the diversity of the firm and issues with anything that’s a hot button issue… this season in particular… trying to figure out how we can fight the power.” She then went on to discuss her character’s love interest, played by actor Hugh Dancy, saying, “We’re so happy to have him… And my character is a bit lonely and stressed out… the wonderful thing is they start to explore a bit of getting to know each other over the next couple of episodes.”

Tune-In: Streamed Performances to Benefit The Actors Fund

This weekend, Audra McDonald performs in two streamed concerts that benefit The Actors Fund, a charitable organization that supports actors and theater professionals. Broadway’s biggest stars are coming together to help financially support actors and industry workers amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to the cancellation of all Broadway shows until April 13th.

On Saturday, Audra and Will Swenson perform on “Stars in the House,” a YouTube series created by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley that features streamed concerts performed by Broadway stars in their own homes. Following “Stars in the House,” Audra joins many of her Broadway colleagues to perform in a one-night revival of The Rosie O’Donnell Show. A dedicated theatre-goer, O’Donnell hosts this special event to support Broadway, which she calls, “lifeblood of New York City.

Saturday, March 21 at 2 pm ET: Watch Audra perform with Will Swenson for “Stars in the House” on The Actor’s Fund’s website or their YouTube channel.

Sunday, March 22 at 7pm ET: Tune in via Broadway.com or their YouTube channel for a one-night revival of The Rosie O’Donnell Show with Kelli O’Hara, Idina Menzel, Ben Platt, and many more!
