Last night, Eric Bogosian's 1987 drama Talk Radio finally made it to Broadway! At the show's after-party at Bar Americain, Bogosian -- who played the leading role of talk show host Barry Champlain in the original stage and film version -- caught up with the new production's leading man, Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber.

Also celebrating were Talk Radio co-star Peter Hermann and his gorgeous wife, Mariska Hargitay. The couple met while co-starring on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

That NBC series also co-starred the lovely Stephanie March, who plays producer Linda MacArthur in Talk Radio; she's seen here with her husband, Bar Americain's super-chef Bobby Flay.
