Frank DiLella
Go backstage with one of Broadway's hottest actors from Broadway's biggest show. NY1's Frank DiLella interviews The Book of Mormon star Andrew Rannells in the latest Downstage Center. From Hairspray and Jersey Boys to The Book of Mormon's Elder Price, Nebraska native Mr. Rannells relishes his time in the hottest show in town. Inspired by Into the Woods and The Who's Tommy, he somehow found a way to keep a straight face during each hilarious performance on his way to his first Tony Award nomination in 2011. Listen to how he ended up in the current production and pranks his co-star Josh Gad on stage, what real Mormons think of his work, working with Trey Parker and Matt Stone and the sometimes controversial subject matter of their humor, and what happens when Oprah visits him after the show.
