Theater Talk: Elaine Stritch's 88th Birthday Bash!
Ойын-сауық
We celebrate the 88th birthday of the great star Elaine Stritch. Joining us along with Stritch herself are her good friends, music director Rob Bowman, and actor Hunter Ryan Herdlicka who appeared with Stritch in "A Little Night Music" on Broadway. In a freewheeling conversation, Stritch reminisces fondly about a number of people and things of significance including Stephen Sondheim, Bela Lugosi, and the gift basket that Alec Baldwin sent her after she injured her hip.

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.

Elaine Stritch was and is one of the greats of Show Business. I wish that more of the 'pop' culture knew more about her. A true Broadway Baby and night club performer. But I guess you can't burn the candle at both ends. She was happy in her career and nobody did it better. Rest peacefully Elaine and God bless your soul.
Elaine Stritch was a true Broadway Baby. What a talent!
This woman is an icon ! Talent and wisdom beyond measure ! Curious since this was her 88th birthday celebration and we know that she died at 89 did you guys see her before her death I’ve always wondered because I feel that she had a real sweet spot for your program and for both of you
Hunter....HUNK...what a good looking man!
I miss this show so much and I miss Elaine, more than I can express.

"I didn't mean for this to be all about me" ...sure, Elaine. Sure.
I loved her
I had the privilege of seeing her one woman show.. in SF

Elaine 💖
I read a biography about her recently that was in the Library, and she later thought that moving back to Michigan was a mistake. She missed the hustle and bustle of New York...
I wish I could find the lyrics to "By the way, I'm gay".
love her wish I could email her and tell her how much
Detroit is getting a treasure!
when people had brains
Why did everyone not know she was going home to die?

It was pretty clear to me when I saw this show the first time, that Elaine must have some personal news regarding her health, going back to Detroit completed the circle. She tells of the event of moving to New York at age 18 at the train station with her parents . Returning completes the circle. Pure Elaine.
Michael Riedel is SO RUDE he’s such a nobody - who does he think he is to speak to Elaine like that???
God, she was tedious . . . .
