By the mid-1970s Times Square had become the seedy
symbol of New York’s economic decline, and attending an evening at a Broadway
musical required scurrying past sex shops and all manner of shady characters on
the way to the theater. However, thanks
to the efforts of a handful of people set on saving the industry they loved,
Broadway experienced an extraordinary rebirth which according to Michael Riedel in his book Razzle Dazzle: The Battle For Broadway
paralleled the transformation of Times Square and New York City itself. Michael has been a theater columnist for the New York Post since 1998 and is also
the co-host of the weekly talk show Theater Talk on PBS, and he joins today in studio to talk all about the book and
the history of Broadway in the period just after New York Theater’s golden
age. You can also follow Michael on twitter.
