Variety is launching the first edition of its "Actors on Actors: Broadway" series on April 22, 2025, at 8 a.m. PT across Variety's platforms and YouTube. The series features candid conversations between prominent Broadway and film actors, including George Clooney, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Nicole Scherzinger, Jonathan Groff, Cole Escola, and Darren Criss. The initial episode highlights a discussion between George Clooney and Patti LuPone, covering topics such as Broadway pay, surviving the Trump era, and Elon Musk's impact on government, with Clooney questioning whether Musk is "destroying the government." The conversation also touches on the responsibility of journalists, as Clooney references his play "Good Night, and Good Luck," and the role of art in resisting demagogues. The series is accompanied by a special magazine issue available on newsstands. Photographs for the series were taken by Emilio Madrid at Rockefeller Center.
