    Spencer Weber Waller Talks “Power and Greed: Monopolies, Mergers, and Cartels on the American Stage” on The Roundtable!
    Oct 17 2026
    Who really controls Broadway? Who decides which shows get produced, which artists get opportunities, and how much audiences pay for tickets? On this episode of The Roundtable with Robert Bannon, we welcome acclaimed author, legal scholar, and Broadway producer Spencer Weber Waller to discuss his fascinating new book, Power and Greed: Monopolies, Mergers, and Cartels on the American Stage. From the powerful theater syndicates of the Gilded Age to the rise of the Shubert empire, Waller pulls back the curtain on the business deals, rivalries, and monopolies that shaped American entertainment. And the story doesn't stop on Broadway! We're talking about Live Nation, Ticketmaster, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour ticketing controversy, and the ongoing battle over who holds the power in live entertainment. A professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, former federal prosecutor, and co-producer of the Broadway revival of The Who's Tommy, Waller brings a unique perspective to the intersection of entertainment, business, and the law. It's Broadway history, backstage drama, and big business all rolled into one conversation! 📖 Power and Greed is available now from Bloomsbury Publishing. 🎙️ The Roundtable with Robert Bannon 📺 Watch on YouTube & BroadwayWorld 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio & Broadway Podcast Network 🌐 www.robertbannon.com 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @robertmbannon The best is yet to come! #TheRoundtableWithRobertBannon #RobertBannon #SpencerWeberWaller #PowerAndGreed #Broadway #BroadwayHistory #Theater #ShowBusiness #Ticketmaster #LiveNation #TaylorSwift #BloomsburyPublishing #BroadwayWorld #EntertainmentNews Learn more about your ad choices.

We talk about the magic of this beautiful production, the emotional journey of bringing these characters to life, the show's unforgettable music, and what it means to take a Broadway phenomenon on the road. From the creative storytelling to the universal themes of love, connection, loneliness, and hope, Maybe Happy Ending reminds us that sometimes the most human stories come from the most unexpected places.
