Critics Set for THEATER TALK's Spring 2015 Preview This Week

Theater critic Jesse Green (New York Magazine) and theater journalists Michael Musto (Out.com) and Patrick Pacheco (NY1 News) join co-hosts Michael Riedel and Susan Haskins for a "Spring Season 2015 Preview" of Broadway productions on an all-new THEATER TALK.

The Spring Season 2015 Preview edition premieres in the New York metropolitan area beginning Friday, Jan. 30 (2015) at 1 AM (Saturday morning) on Thirteen/PBS, and continues on CUNY TV* Saturday (1/31) at 8:30 PM, Sunday (2/1) at 12:30 PM, and Monday (2/2) at 7:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 7:30 PM.

The panel talks about the upcoming theater season and shows including Honeymoon in Vegas, Helen Mirren in The Audience, the revival of David Hare's Skylight, Something Rotten! directed by Casey Nicholaw, Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, the revival of the late Wendy Wasserstein's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles - and three musicals that have had epically-long roads to Broadway: Doctor Zhivago, Chita Rivera in Kander & Ebb's The Visit, and mega-producer Harvey Weinstein's Finding Neverland.
