From November 2014 to February 2015, Stone took on the role of Sally Bowles in a revival of the Broadway musical Cabaret, succeeding Michelle Williams. She found the experience nerve-wracking and prepared herself mentally by listening to a French radio station.
In 2017, Stone’s only film release was Battle of the Sexes, depicting the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King (Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell).
