'Theater Talk' Features Tony Predictions Show, June 2

Jesse Green (New York Times), Michael Musto (The Village Voice) and Patrick Pacheco (Show People) will join "Theater Talk" co-hosts Michael Riedel (New York Post) and Susan Haskins to handicap some of the most hotly contested Tony Awards races, "choosing who will win, who will lose and who should never have even been nominated."

"The panel will also pick the worst musical of the season and discuss plans for the upcoming Tony broadcast, as well as new Tony committee rulings affecting everything from the number of nominees to swag," state press notes.

In addition to its premiere on June 2 at 12:30 AM, "Theater Talk"'s Predictions Show can be seen again on Thirteen, Monday, June 5 at 5:30 AM.
