BWW's Theatre Business Podcast 'The OHenry Report' Discusses Legal Battle Between Matthew Lombardo's WHO'S HOLIDAY and Dr. Seuss

On this episode of BroadwayWorld's new theatre business podcast, "The OHenry Report," Broadway producer and investor Oliver Henry Roth talks to the playwright/producer and lawyers behind the recent major court decision that deemed the new play WHO'S HOLIDAY protected from copyright claims from Dr. Seuss Enterprises.

In the episode, Oliver talks to the playwright of WHO'S HOLIDAY Matthew Lombardo, as well as Jordan Greenberger, the attorney who represented Lombardo and WHO'S HOLIDAY in litigation against Dr. Seuss Enterprises. Oliver also discussed the situation with Andrew Farber, a theater attorney whose firm, Farber Law LLC, serves as Production Counsel to WHO'S HOLIDAY.

Lombardo has been represented on Broadway in the past with his plays HIGH (2011) and LOOPED (2010).
