Theater Talk: Behind the Scenes at "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark"

Actors Patrick Page, Isabel Keating and Michael Mulheren, members of the company of SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK, discuss what was really going on behind the scenes during one of longest gestation periods for a show in Broadway history. They talk about working with the musical's original director, Julie Taymor, and how, after 183 previews, SPIDER-MAN has become a fan favorite and one of the best-selling shows now on Broadway.

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.
