A Murder in Manhattan at Second Stage Theater

Midday on WNYC | Apr 20, 2018

What happens when a Manhattan apartment building lobby becomes embroiled in a murder investigation? Kenneth Lonergan, the 2017 Oscar-winning writer of Manchester by the Sea, explores this in his play Lobby Hero. He joins actors Chris Evans and Bel Powley to discuss its Broadway premiere. Lobby Hero is the inaugural production at Second Stage’s new Broadway home, The Hayes Theater, where it is playing through May 13.

This segment is guest hosted by DW Gibson.
