From Broadway, to classic sitcoms, to the biggest horror, action, and comedy hits of the 1980’s, Adrienne Barbeau is an iconic part of American pop culture. Before all of that, however, she worked at Joe Allen! We were so lucky to spend some time with this gracious lady, discussing the late night, party vibe of New York in the late 1960’s, the close knit ties forged among the up and coming casts of  “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Grease,” her brisk transition from Broadway Rizzo to TV stardom, the ass kicking Howard Hawks inspired horror heroines she popularized, and the fascinating world of “Carnivale." It took us a while to get this “wishlist” guest, and it was well worth it. Cheers!

You’ll hear stories of the “Good Ol’ Days” in 1960’s Hell’s Kitchen, rarely told anecdotes from the shows on the “Flop Wall,” and the special connection between the restaurant and the people who make theater happen (Chita Rivera, F.
