Kate Baldwin has a way of looking at the industry that is both deeply grounded and incredibly refreshing. She opens up about her approach to playing Roxie Hart in Chicago, describing her version of the character as a "Bad Nellie Forbush" who is just trying to survive. She also shares the fantastic story of how wearing the "wrong" dress to her Hello, Dolly! audition ended up being the perfect choice for Jerry Zaks and helped her find the spine of Irene Molloy.
We also dig into the shifts in her personal life and career philosophy since 2020. Kate speaks candidly about letting go of the pressure to be a crossover star in TV and film and instead embracing her true love for musical theater, which she affectionately calls the "Island of Misfit Toys." From the lessons she learned growing up in Wisconsin to the joy of throwing big parties just because she can, this conversation is a celebration of finding out what actually matters to you.
Kate Baldwin is a two-time Tony Award nominee for her performances in Finian’s Rainbow and Hello, Dolly!, roles that also earned her Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations. Her extensive Broadway career includes starring roles in Big Fish, The Full Monty, Wonderful Town, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. Off-Broadway, she received Drama Desk nominations for her work in Giant at The Public Theater and John & Jen with the Keen Company, as well as a Lucille Lortel nomination for Superhero at Second Stage. She most recently starred as Roxie Hart in Chicago.
