Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.

Alan menken is my favorite composter I hope he never stop composting his awesome
It's been my lifelong wish that I could meet him in person!!!! I've prepared what to say just in case I actually meet him 😄
oh whats that
When he sings, it feels like the world is beautiful. Long live Alan Menken! He is my inspiration.
When he started in on the opening chords to Beauty and the Beast, (the movie, not the song) I got a shiver.
nah i love his singing voice
This man has had to tell this story for 40+ years now 😢❤
I luv Alan Menken and all of his beautiful music.
Alan's heart still seems broken over the loss of Howard.
well can ya blame him
I wish I was related to Alan Menken, or at least his friend or something.
i hear ya
"Somewhere that's Wet" - Funny, but it should really be "Somewhere that's Dry."

anyone else started singing along when they got to Disney?
Little Shop had some incredible music
this is amazing
awesome
love it
Can this man just be my best friend please?
ALAN I wanna be your friend
So do I.
Jordan Briskin wouldn't that be great
MrGabeanator It would be the answer to a dream that I have been having since January, the one dream that I want, more than anything, to come true.
Jordan Briskin which is
MrGabeanator In this dream, I actually worked with him on all of the films and stage shows that he has done, and also some films (animated AND live action) that, historically, he was not a part of. (Standing out for me are ''Lion King'', ''Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'', ''Duma'', ''Mulan'', ''Brother Bear'' and ''Africa's Elephant Kingdom''.)
I know his story by heart and yet
i love
I always felt if Howard and Alan never went to Disney, the company would go bankrupt; the conflicts between Eisner and Katsenburg and the fact that everything post Rescuers was a flop proved the company needed to go back to Square 1, which they did with Roy, Alan and Howard; they saved the company.
@ThePhantom135 Really?!? Did you get to meet him? If so, that is AWESOME!!
@ThePhantom135 You wouldn't believe how jealous (and happy) I am for you. Lol! That's so cool! And thanks for the info. :)
