This transcript is an interview segment built around Alden Ehrenreich’s Broadway debut in Becky Shaw, with no substantive market content. The host opens with a clip from the play that frames Becky as a morally complicated character and then introduces Ehrenreich as a Tony nominee for the revival. The discussion is mostly about why he took the part, what the play is like, and what he learned from doing his first Broadway production. Ehrenreich says he had been looking to do a play for about 15 years and was drawn to Becky Shaw because it felt “strangely weird and compelling,” with “characters [that] were so interesting and screwed up.” He explains that the rights initially were unavailable because another production was underway, but director Trip Cullman later approached him and said he would be “a right fit” for the role of Max Garrett. …
