The Jewish Channel will ring in 2016 with the latest edition of its popular theater-­oriented monthly TV show, "Row J". The show is hosted by TJC correspondent Meredith Ganzman. The executive producer is Brian Scott Lipton.

Each episode of "Row J" focuses on Broadway and off­-Broadway shows, highlighting Jewish themes, actors, writers, and directors. Theater personalities discuss their current projects and careers, alongside reviews of new shows, on-­location features with theater community notables, and other special segments. The January 2016 edition of "Row J" will include:

* coverage of the opening night of the Broadway revival of "Fiddler on the Roof," featuring interviews with star Danny Burstein, composer Sheldon Harnick, director Bartlett Sher, and guests including Tovah Feldshuh, Joel Grey, Judith Light, Bob Saget and Michael Urie.

* a chat with actor Tony Roberts, who discusses his new memoir "Do You Know Me?"

* an in­depth in­studio interview with Emmy and Tony Award nominee Michele Lee, who talks about her current starring role in Broadway's "Wicked" and her long stage, film and television career.

* a special monthly roundtable, featuring Ganzman along with "Row J" contributing critic Jesse Oxfeld and executive producer Brian Scott Lipton, in which the panel discusses Broadway's "Fiddler on the Roof" and reveals their favorite shows of the Fall 2015 season.

* Row J's always provocative "Question of the Month," including answers from Annaleigh Ashford, Victoria Clark, Robert Fairchild, Lena Hall, Norm Lewis, Tonya Pinkins and more.
