All this and Broadway Brian reviews The Roommate starring Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone!

The Groupies are back, and as El de Facto always says: "You know how those Green Room conversations go" and this episode proves it as Dave, Carol, Ron and Bob spend some time discussing the good, the bad and the WICKED of Broadway musicals turned into Movies. It's something a little bit different!

And all of us here in the Green Room wish all of our wonderful listeners a joyous and happy holiday season!
