Season 4, Episode 4. 
Five years ago, The Hollywood Reporter published shocking bullying allegations about mega film and Broadway producer Scott Rudin, causing him to be cancelled.  Today Rudin is BACK on Broadway and poised to sweep this year's Tony awards with his productions of Death of A Salesman starring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf and Little Bear Ridge Road, also starring Metcalf.  Sean and clinical psychologist, Dr. Alisa Hurwitz, ask the question: SHOULD Rudin be welcomed back and what does his return say about Broadway?
Special thanks to Dr. Alisa Hurwitz, an enthusiastic Broadway fan, who is a clinical psychologist in group private practice in New Hampshire, specializing in the Autism spectrum and gender identity.
