Each week, NY1 takes a look at what's happening in the theater world on its weekly show "On Stage." Here's host Frank DiLella with a preview of this week's episode.

This weekend on "On Stage":

  • “On Stage” host Frank DiLella sits down with rapper turned stage star Common to talk about making his Broadway debut in the Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Between Riverside and Crazy."  Common tells DiLella that performing on stage has been a lifelong dream.
  • In addition, Frank checks in with Tony winner Lillias White who is now starring in the hit Broadway musical "Hadestown."
