Seth Rudetsky's new Broadway musical Disaster! — a sendup of the great (and less-than-great) disaster movies of the 1970s — is now in performances at the Nederlander Theatre. As a new genre to the Broadway stage, TheaterMania decided to sit down with the niche-film expert to hear his take on the underappreciated art form. Take a look as he chats with our very own Zachary Stewart to discuss everything from sinking cruise ships to horror films with one-letter titles.
