Episode Details

The spring theater season is in motion, and in Part Two of our Spring Preview, host Patrick Pacheco and a powerhouse panel dig into the plays shaping the conversation on Broadway and Off-Broadway. This episode of CUNY TV’s Theater: All the Moving Parts brings together Diep Tran (Editor in Chief, Playbill), Adam Feldman (Chief Theater Critic, Time Out New York), and Jesse Green (Culture Correspondent, The New York Times) for a sharp, insightful, and entertaining look at the season’s biggest titles.

The panel unpacks Daniel Radcliffe’s return in Every Brilliant Thing, the provocative West End hit Giant and its debate over art, legacy, and accountability, and the stage adaptation of Dog Day Afternoon. They also discuss the Broadway production of Becky Shaw, a new revival of Death of a Salesman starring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, Adrien Brody’s Broadway debut in The Fear of 13, and the return of Proof.

Plus: Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, and buzzy new premieres like The Balusters. In a lightning round, each critic shares the play they are most excited to see this spring.

If you love Broadway, Off-Broadway, theater criticism, and smart cultural conversation, this is your essential spring preview.
