synopsis
A special program containing the ultimate highlights from the critically acclaimed nationally broadcast music/comedy cable program that literally revolutionized rock & roll television during its three year run. New Wave Theatre established its music guru host the late Peter Ivers as one of cable's top stars in America and as the voice and vision of the LA music renaissance, it put LA's bands on the national map with its own brand of anarchy, comedy and 'live taped' format.
