Last night, Laurie Metcalf was a guest on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to talk about starring in "Hillary and Clinton" on Broadway.

During the interview, Metcalf tells Colbert that "I am a Hillary Clinton who lives on a Planet Earth slightly different from this one."

She goes on to explain that she and co-star John Lithgow don't impersonate Hillary And Bill, "I'm not in a pantsuit, and he doesn't have the accent. So that frees us up to do our own interpretations of this couple." Metcalf continues, "It's very much a marriage play."

Watch the interview below!

Hillary and Clinton began previews on March 16, 2019, ahead of an official opening night on Thursday, April 18, 2019 at the John Golden Theatre.

The new play by Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath, stars award-winning actors Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow. Completing the cast are Zak Orth and Peter Francis James.

Behind closed doors in the state of New Hampshire during the early days of 2008, a former First Lady named Hillary (Metcalf) is in a desperate bid to save her troubled campaign for President of the United States. Her husband, Bill (Lithgow), sees things one way; her campaign manager, Mark, sees things another. If any of this sounds familiar, don't be fooled; in a universe of infinite possibilities, anything that can happen, will.

The show will play a limited engagement through July 21, 2019.
