Listen to the episode here:
"I Won't Recall The Names and Places of Each" BW Away Episode...
Kimberly: So wait, what are all the places we end up in this story?.
Bryan: The set of Cats, the seedy night club 45 Below, Gripley-Rier...
Kimberly: I love that one!
Kevin: And you're on your way to The Not-Private Theater. I just had a blast playing with names--
Bryan: The names of characters in this episode are my favorite! I laughed so hard when I saw them on paper for the first time!
Kevin: I just tried to think of military ranks and then jobs or things in theater that shared those titles. And I wrote Dance Captain to be a Legolas-style bad ass because I have never been what you'd call "remotely talented at dancing" so Dance Captains both fascinate me and terrify me...much like a bad-ass elf.
Kimberly: You're afraid of elves?
Kevin: The bad-ass ones, yeah.
Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Laugh
Kevin: One of the most laughter-filled recording sessions for episode was our session with Michael Cerveris.
Kimberly: (laughing) SO many ad libs--
Bryan: I literally had to kick Kimberly and Kevin out of the room so that Michael could get through a whole take without them laughing. We did multiple takes and in each one he discovered a different way to make us laugh.
Kevin: And even after Kimberly and I left, you still laughed over a couple of the takes.
Bryan: I couldn't help it...the "Don't Leave Me Here Alone" bit was actually like three minutes long. I survived about two and half minutes before i couldn't hold it in anymore.
"You get me to rise like a fish to the bait then tell me to WAIT?!"
Kevin: It was always the plan for Broadwaysted Away to actually be four parts--
Kimberly: It was?
Kevin: Absolutely. Without a doubt.
Bryan: I doubt that.
Kevin: Okay, so the plan was for it to be three parts--
Kimberly: I thought so--
Kevin: But I was writing the part where Bryan and Kimberly narrowly escape death by stampeding auditioners when I realized there was so much more left to tell. So I sent Bryan and Kimberly a message in our group text that basically said, "So...BW Away is going to be a four-part trilogy" and their responses were quick.
Kimberly: Cool.
Bryan: Let's do it!
The Giggle Award
This Award is given to the cast member who was most prone to the giggles during recording...aka the "Jimmy Fallon" Award
Bryan: Okay, countdown then say your choice. 1...2...3...
Bryan & Kevin: HANNAH! Kimberly: BRYAN!
Kevin: Okay, Kimberly--I could go Bryan and Hannah for the tie--
Bryan: No! Stand strong! It was Hannah alone. She laughed a lot.
Kimberly: No way. You two laughed your way through all of our recording sessions.
Kevin: I did really pack in the jokes in your scenes with Hannah though, and Hannah has been on more episodes than anyone--as one of our first guests, as a guest host, and as my guest mother--so basically, when we get together with Hannah, there's always a lot of laughs.
Bryan: Even when she's trying to kill me--
Kimberly: She didn't kill you though--but she definitely slayed it.
Kevin: Zing!
