Bringing Zero Mostel Back Onstage

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 27, 2017

Jim Brochu joins us to discuss his one man show, “Zero Hour,” a play about the life of theater legend Zero Mostel. The play traces Mostel's early days growing up on the Lower East Side as the son of Orthodox Jewish immigrant parents, through his rise as a stand-up comedian, from the Borscht Belt to Manhattan's most exclusive supper clubs, and from the devastation of the blacklist to his greatest Broadway triumphs, most notably as Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof."

"Zero Hour" is playing at the Theatre at Saint Clement’s (423 West 46th Street, between Ninth & Tenth Avenues) through July 9th. Click here for more information.
