Charles Busch’s comedy, The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, had just opened on Broadway at around this time in 2000. More than one year later, the show is still playing, with original cast members Tony Roberts and Michele Lee joined by Valerie Harper, who replaced Linda Lavin.

Busch will stop by the PBS theatre-related talk show “Theater Talk,” hosted by producer Susan Haskins and New York Post columnist Michael Riedel, on Dec. 21. The actor-performer recently returned to his roots as a drag performer for the third annual performance of his cult Christmas comedy, Times Square Angel, Dec. 17, in Manhattan.

Also on the program, Patrick Pacheco of Newsday and Jesse McKinley of The New York Times will talk about the current lawsuit between Stephen Sondheim and producer Scott Rudin.
