Theater Talk: Sir Tim Rice 2012

Our favorite knight, the lyricist and librettist Sir Tim Rice makes his fourth appearance on Theater Talk. This time, he discusses the current Broadway revivals of his celebrated shows "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita." Rice also talks about his new show, "From Here to Eternity," a musical adaptation of James Jones' World War II novel. Taped: 03-02-2012 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.
