Broadwaysted Welcomes Annoying Actor Friend and Justin 'Squigs' Robertson for a 2016 Year in Review
By: Broadwaysted Dec. 27, 2016
This week on Broadwaysted we are celebrating all things 2016 with an End of the Year Review and we're excited to welcome back #FriendsOfTheShow Justin "Squigs" Robertson and Annoying Actor Friend Andrew Briedis! In the exciting conclusion to #Kev4Ham, Kevin talks about his experience seeing HAMILTON (Spoiler Alert: He Liked it) and then we discuss the many amazing incarnations of Sally Bowles.
We salute our favorite "rewind" segments in shows, give a shout out to Jennifer Holliday for being a Light Catcher, and then Bryan and Kimberly talk about how much they loved PUFFS. We discuss our favorite shows and performances of 2016 and the things we're looking forward to in 2017, we make some way-too-early 2017 Tony Predictions, and we "phone a friend" to talk to Greg Hildreth about some crazy 2016 gossip!
Game Master Kimberly leads us in a new game, "Was That This Year?" and then we play "Bing and Purge" with the Lights of Broadway Show Cards! It's been a crazy year for all of us, including the Broadwaysted Crew, and we're so thankful that our #FansOfTheShow have joined us in our first year for Broadway's best happy hour! See ya in 2017 (and at BroadwayCon!) for plenty more theatre memories, but until then, join us for the last Broadwaysted of the year!
