[reporter 2] Have you asked the students what they think of this?

[reporter 1] Are you choosing not to comment?

[reporter 2] Hey, there's Emma! Can we get a comment?

[reporter 3] Can you answer some questions?

[reporter 1] Can we get a statement?

[reporter 2] Emma, what do you think of the PTA's decision to cancel prom?

[reporter 1] Emma, do you have a response?

[upbeat music playing]

-[indistinct chatter] -[horns honking]

[Frank] It's Frank DiLella with New York 1's On Stage.

We're here for the opening night of Eleanor! The Eleanor Roosevelt Musical,

starring the incomparable Dee Dee Allen.

-Dee Dee! You're a Broadway star. -Yes, I am. [chuckles]

You have your choice of roles. What drew you to Eleanor?

Well, Eleanor Roosevelt was a brave, powerful, charismatic woman

who no one had ever heard of.

Her story needs to be told.

People need to know it is possible to change the world,

whether you're a homely middle-aged First Lady

or a Broadway star! [chuckles]
