Daniel Radcliffe, Mariska Hargitay and the Happiest List on Earth

With war, political wrangling and price hikes jockeying for headlines, it’s a rare thing to sit for an hour with a large group of strangers and focus on the small pleasures in life. But that’s what the show “Every Brilliant Thing” is all about. Since 2013, Duncan Macmillan’s audience-participation-heavy play has been performed in dozens of languages in hundreds of locations across the globe. It revolves around a central character who writes a list of all the good things in life for a depressed parent. And while it tackles dark subject matter — including frequent mentions of a loved one’s suicide — it may be one of the funniest shows about depression, ever. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Michael Barbaro talks with Daniel Radcliffe, who currently stars in a Broadway production of the show, and Mariska Hargitay, who will step into the role in a few weeks. We’ll also hear from the playwright and several other actors who have performed the play on stages, in living rooms, on basketball courts and aircraft carriers all over the world. On today's episode: Daniel Radcliffe Mariska Hargitay Duncan Macmillan Candunn Jennette Greg Dragas Mugambi Nthiga Erika de la Vega Jung Sae-Byul Mohsina Akhter Tommy Schoffler Nanda Mohammad Background reading: ‘Every Brilliant Thing,’ Now Starring Daniel Radcliffe and You Daniel Radcliffe Makes ‘Every Brilliant Thing’ Shine Daniel Radcliffe Wanted a Break From Broadway.

She Risked Her Voice to Become a Mother

Lise Davidsen is one of the greatest opera singers of our time — a soprano with a voice so rare, critics reach back a century for comparison. This spring, she has been starring in a sold-out new production of Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde” at the Metropolitan Opera. But she’s also at a crossroads: Her first performance as “Isolde” on the Met stage came just nine months after giving birth to twins. Today on The Sunday Daily, Natalie Kitroeff talks with the Times writer Zachary Woolfe about his recent conversation with Davidsen, and the unexpected emotional weight she felt while returning to the stage as a new mother. They discuss how a production centered on birth, death and renewal gave Davidsen a way to work through this seismic shift in her life, all while tackling the role of a lifetime. On Today’s Episode: Zachary Woolfe is a writer and editor for The New York Times.

Sunday Special: Bringing Broadway Home

Broadway represents some of the best and most exciting of what American theater has to offer. But for many people, it’s inaccessible. Whether because of geography, cost or other considerations, most people will never sit in a Broadway theater and experience a play or a musical in person. For years, cast recordings have offered a way to experience Broadway shows at a remove. And now, in the streaming era, some Broadway shows are making themselves available to be watched remotely, in movie theaters and on television. Distance and expense aren’t the impediments they once were to culture lovers looking to experience world-class theater. In this episode, Gilbert Cruz talks with Jesse Green and Elisabeth Vincentelli, two of The New York Times’s culture writers, about new ways to experience some of the joys of theater from the comfort of your own home. On Today’s Episode: Jesse Green is a Culture correspondent, focusing primarily on the fine arts, including theater, classical music and art. Elisabeth Vincentelli writes about culture for The Times.

Sunday Special: The Enduring Power of Amusement Parks

Amusement parks are enduring vacation destinations for American families.

Sunday Special: Springsteen, Dylan and the Art of the Biopic

On Friday, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” will be released in theaters. Rather than chronicling Bruce’s entire life, the film focuses on the making of his stripped-down 1982 album “Nebraska” and on his concurrent mental health struggles. This movie is the latest in a long history of musician biopics featuring stars like Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Eminem and Elvis Presley. Hollywood clearly loves telling the stories of influential artists. In this episode, Gilbert Cruz chats with Lindsay Zoladz, a pop music critic for The Times, and Joe Coscarelli, a Times culture reporter, about the tropes of the genre and their favorite films that break the mold. On Today’s Episode: Lindsay Zoladz, a pop music critic at The Times and the writer of The Amplifier newsletter. Joe Coscarelli, a culture reporter at The Times and co-host of “Popcast.” Additional Reading: The Boss Finally Gets a Biopic, Just Not the One We Expected He’s Ringo. And Nobody Else Is.
