It's the final week of the year, and we really didn't want to take off an episode for the holidays, so here is a frankensteined together episode with the hosts in completely different countries. With this week, we have Wicked breaking the single-week box office record of all time. Exciting stuff guys!

We have probably the strangest podcast setup in quite some time, with Gavin at the airport, Liam at sea, and Nick here to help us out. We get into the craziness that is Gypsy's schedule right now, the slow(ish) news week for the holidays, and the Imperial Theater renovation talks.

A surprisingly packed week of news in what should be the slower holiday times. It's kinda the Eva Noblezada show, with Hadestown og back in London in February. Meanwhile Liam is saving lives on the boat! No icebergs around here!

We’ve finally got Liam back for the first ever pod at sea. A whole lot of news, castings, recastings, and a closing notice. Liam takes us through his crazy schedule, and we put two shows to rest. Join us!

This was somehow about the law this week, and we're joined by field reporter Nick all the way in Guatemala saving lives. We get into the prospect of a casino in times square, tons of casting news, and 2 lawsuits that have to do with theatre. Sort of.

REMEMBER TO VOTE GAVIN:

This week is a solo show from Gavin due to Liam and Nick both being tied up with obligations at work and the holidays. We nonetheless get into Death Becomes Her opening predictions, a lot of news out of PBS, Oh, Mary!'s recoupment and some pretty gross(es).

We've got opening predictions for Swept Away this week, which takes us on a whole ride of conversation into the season, predictions for awards, and forecasting the spring.

We have field reporter Nick joining us for a packed episode of opening predictions for Sunset, Maybe Happy Ending, and a Wonderful World. We get into the Sunset Boulevard of it all a little more closely, and offer insights into how we think this situation could play out moving forward. Join us!

In what was a slow week of news, we compensated with a whole bunch of tea and drama from Broadway and beyond. Some warning signs in the financials for some new musicals, and Sunset Boulevard continues to show its promise as one of the largest hits of the season.

A lot more ALW conversation with Jamie Lloyd, and a bunch of cool insights on this week ep about Broadway business, forecasting the spring, and the final months of a bunch of new musicals.
