  • We continue our interview with composer Alan Menken. He talks about his song-writing partnerships over the years and performs some of his most beloved hits, including songs from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, THE LITTLE MERMAID, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, KING DAVID and his new Broadway show, SISTER ACT.

    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.

    When he started in on the opening chords to Beauty and the Beast, (the movie, not the song) I got a shiver.

    "Somewhere that's Wet" - Funny, but it should really be "Somewhere that's Dry."

    I wish I was related to Alan Menken, or at least his friend or something.

    Alan's heart still seems broken over the loss of Howard.

      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.

    • @MrGabeanator
      @MrGabeanator 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jordan Briskin which is

    • @jordanbriskin238
      @jordanbriskin238 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 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.
