Also, theater critics Jeremy McCarter of New York Magazine and Michael Sommers of The Star Ledger will join Michael Riedel and Susan Haskins to review some new Broadway shows and "squabble over The Pirate Queen," according to press notes.  The Pirate Queen, the newest musical by Alain Boubil and Claude-Michel Schonberg (Les Miserables, Miss Saigon), currently runs at the Hilton Theatre.
