Scott will discuss the show, which is described in press notes as “the story of a young woman’s psycho-sexual-spiritual journey on the rocky path that separates her mostly Mennonite past from her mostly Manhattan future. Her life takes her from the cornfields of Kansas to the clover fields of New York (with a disturbing detour through YouTube). Everyday Rapture also features songs made famous by David Byrne, Roberta Flack, Mister Rogers, The Supremes, Elton John, Tom Waits, U2 and Judy Garland.”??

Scott is nominated for Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical and Best Book of a Musical for her work on the show. (The latter nomination is shared with her co-librettist, Dick Scanlan.)

Directed by Michael Mayer and also featuring Eamon Foley, Lindsay Mendez and Betsy Wolfe, the Roundabout Theatre Company production is currently running at the American Airlines Theatre.
