  • Hosted by actor Jonathan Cake, Stage Door Jonny is a podcast about theatre ... and life ... and life in the theatre. Jonathan has appeared in countless plays around the world - and made a fair few celebrated acquaintances along the way. So it is that he's assembled a formidable cast of actors, directors and writers to share their memories, reflections, discoveries, triumphs and disasters relating to this most alluring and mysterious and visceral of art forms. And because you'll be privy to conversations among great pals with a mutual passion, this is more akin to drinking at the Dress Circle Bar with some of the finest theatre artists of a generation than waiting for their autographs on a chilly rainswept backstreet in the depths of night.

  • Bobby Cannavale (Act I)
    Nov 6 2024
    Jonny’s guest this week is two time Emmy winner (for Will and Grace and Boardwalk Empire), two time Tony nominee and perennial engine of fun, Bobby Cannavale. Jonny could talk to Mr Cannavale every day. And very nearly did. They talk about shared experiences (a love of apples, playing Jason in Medea at BAM’s Harvey Theatre, working with talented wives), Bobby’s affection for reading plays as a kid, being a nine year old gangster in Guys and Dolls, intellectual insecurity and the qualities that attracted mentors like Sidney Lumet, Lanford Wilson, George C Wolfe and Al Pacino. Bobby explains how he understands the importance of the event, why he’s always ready for the fight and the fateful night when he sat next to Pacino at the Tony awards.
