It's A Musical! Podcast Ep.31 - Stage Fright!

Happy Halloween! What better way to celebrate the spooky season than with a musical slasher film!
 
There's more at stake for the performers of Centre Stage Camp for Performing Arts than a stint on Broadway as a mysterious Metal Killer terrorises their performance of "The Haunting of the Opera"! Just who would hold such a vendetta against Musical Theatre and who will survive the slaughter?
 
Yes; The Show Must Carry On this week as we discuss 2014's Stage Fright, but what will Danny make of this theatre camp experience? Is Meat Loaf enough to make him feel this is a place Where We Belong? Or will he instead opt for a role as Stage Manager?
 
Tune in to find out!

It's A Musical! Podcast Ep.30 - The Last Five Years Live!

Welcome to a very special episode of It's A Musical! Podcast as - for the first time ever - we actually go to see a musical in person! Yes - we are a part of that! 
 
Join us on our journey to the Southwark Playhouse in London as we revisit Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years! Does Molly Lynch's Cathy evoke the same sympathy? Or will Jonathan O'Boyle's stellar direction (coupled with an outstanding performance by Oli Higginson) see us shift towards Team Jamie?
 
Listen is as we discuss our experience of the translation from Screen to Stage, the safety protocols at the Southwark Playhouse and what most are calling "The Definitive L5Y experience"!
