Show People with Paul Wontorek Interview: Broadway Star Laura Benanti

It's been a whirlwind month for Tony winner Laura Benanti. The lovable actress nabbed her fourth Tony nomination (for playing the kooky model Candela in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) and learned she's headed to primetime (NBC recently picked up her TV series, The Playboy Club). Benanti had plenty to discuss when she swung by Broadway.com's studio to sit down with Show People host Paul Wontorek. During the chat, Benanti got personal about her friendship with Gypsy and Women on the Verge co-star Patti LuPone, why her marriage (to actor Steven Pasquale) works so well and fond memories of the late Arthur Laurents. The Broadway beauty also excitedly discussed shooting the Playboy pilot and whether she plans on posing for the famous magazine. Take a look below!
