From November 2014 to February 2015, Stone starred in a revival of the Broadway musical "Cabaret" as Sally Bowles, taking over the role from Michelle Williams. Deeming it "the most nerve-racking thing ever", Stone listened to a French radio station to mentally prepare herself for the role. Marilyn Stasio of "Variety" was critical of her singing abilities and found her performance to be "a bit narrow as an emotional platform, but a smart choice for her acting skills, the perfect fit for her sharp intelligence and kinetic energy." Both of Stone's 2015 filmsthe romantic comedy-drama "Aloha", and the mystery drama "Irrational Man"were critical and commercial failures, and her roles were panned by critics.</ref> In Cameron Crowe's "Aloha", she played the role of an air force pilot alongside Bradley Cooper, and in Woody Allen's "Irrational Man", she played the love interest of Joaquin Phoenix's character, a philosophy professor. The former was the subject of controversy for whitewashing the cast, as Stone's character was meant to be of Asian, Hawaiian, and Swedish descent; she later regretted the project, acknowledging whitewashing as a prevalent problem in Hollywood. Despite the backlash, Stone was nominated for Choice Movie Actress – Comedy at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards. She also appeared in the music video for Win Butler's single "Anna".
