A wonderful 60-minute conversation with Audra McDonald, moderated by Richard Ridge of BroadwayWorld.com’s “Backstage with Richard Ridge,” courtesy of SAG-AFTRA and its long-form “Conversations” talk series, which took place just yesterday, January 12 and is now online in full.

In this career retrospective conversation, the unparalleled star of stage and screen talks the breadth and versatility of her artistry as both a singer and an actress, her record-breaking six Tony Awards, two Grammy Awards, and an Emmy Award, her major career as a concert artist, regularly appearing on the great stages of the world and with leading international orchestras, all of her many roles, her favorites (including the ones performed offstage and offscreen as wife to actor Will Swenson, and mother to her growing family), her passionate advocacy for equal rights and homeless youth, and more.

It’s an enlightening, entertaining conversation that you can watch in full below.

McDonald will next be seen in Disney’s live-action “Beauty and the Beast” which opens in March.
