Talk Radio Tickets

An off-Broadway sensation in 1987, Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio is headed to Broadway in a new production starring Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber. Controversial late-night radio host Barry Champlain is preparing to expand his popular talk show from Cleveland to a nationwide audience. On one memorable night, Champlain faces a variety of challenging callers and reveals his true feelings on the air live. Schreiber's rich, commanding voice—familiar to theatergoers from his acclaimed performances in Macbeth, Hamlet, Henry V and other classic plays, as well as his award-winning performance in Glengarry Glen Ross—is the ideal match for Bogosian's charismatic leading character. Tony-winning director Robert Falls (Death of a Salesman, Shining City) tackles the crackling script in what is sure to be a major event of the Broadway season.

This show is closed.

Tickets at Longacre Theatre

The Longacre, named for Longacre Square (now Times Square), was built by producer/manager H.H. Frazee (also known as the owner of the Boston Red Sox who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees). After Frazee fell into financial difficulties, the theatre changed hands many times before being sold to Astor Theatre Incorporated, a Shubert subsidiary, in 1919. WOR leased it from 1943-1953 as a radio and television playhouse.


Henry B. Herts designed the Longacre, one of four currently operating Shubert playhouses that he designed. It boasts a French Neo-classical-style exterior and a Beaux Arts-style interior, but lacks some of the individuality and flair which characterized Herts’ other designs.


In 2007-08, architect Michael Kostow oversaw a multimillion dollar restoration of the theatre, restoring the original plasterwork and architectural detail, expanding patron amenities, improving sightlines and repairing and cleaning the neo-French Classical exterior facade.
