BWW's Theatre Business Podcast 'The OHenry Report' Looks Back at the Biggest Stories of 2017, and What Might be Big in the New Year

On this final 2017 episode of BroadwayWorld's theatre business podcast, "The OHenry Report," Broadway producer and investor Oliver Henry Roth talks with BroadwayWorld's Matt Tamanini about the biggest stories of 2017, and what to expect in the new year.

Oliver and Matt discuss the longterm impact that SPRINGSTEEN ON BROADWAY could have on Broadway producing, how the ticketing landscape could and should change, and how the GREAT COMET casting controversy will affect decisions and announcements in the future.

They also discuss the potential for Broadway to have up to nine jukebox musicals running at the same time in the near future, and what they are most looking forward in the coming year.
