WHO'S WITH WHIT
Kelsey Grammer & Bernadette
BY WHITNEY REYNOLDS
ising often
begins with
remembering
who we are and what still calls us forward. For this month’s Who’s With Whit, I sat down with Emmy Award winning actor Kelsey Grammer to talk about Bernadette: The Musical, which is has come to Chicago at the Atheneum Center for Thought and Culture from February 12th through March 13. Known for his iconic roles on stage and screen, Kelsey is also someone whose life has been shaped by deep loss, questioning of faith, and a powerful return to hope.
In a season of refreshing, especially at the beginning of the new year, this conversation goes beyond theater. We talk about why he is using his voice and influence to support a story rooted in truth, endurance, and spiritual awakening. From moments behind the Sistine Chapel to reflections on grief, purpose, and the gifts that carry us through, Kelsey opens up about what it means to believe again and why this story still matters now. Here’s a few questions that stood out in my candid interview with him.
