Tabloid TV Inspires a Musical

The award-winning London musical "Jerry Springer: The Opera" comes to Carnegie Hall this week on a wave of controversy and critical acclaim. Today, the musical's director previews its outrageous mix of biblical characters, raunchy arias and tap-dancing Klansman. Also: author Adam Langer shares his third novel, "Ellington Boulevard: A Novel in A-Flat," which tells the story of one apartment during the boom years in city real estate. Finally: rocker Eric Bachmann performs music from his debut solo album, recorded while living in the back of his van (voluntarily).
