• Episode 98: If/Then
    Mar 14 2025

    There's a weird amount of content about doughnuts in this episode, for which we apologise. Once that's out of the way, you can expect celebrity spotting, fights in the stalls and the jumpsuit questions everyone's asking.

  • Episode 97: Lost Shows
    Mar 7 2025

    What's a lost show, you ask? It's a show we've seen but not recorded an episode about. Some of them are from pre-podcast days, some suffered technical faults and, let's be honest, some of them we just didn't want to ever have to think about again. And somehow, in amongst all this, we forgot to talk about Mamma Mia, so you can guess which of these reasons applies to that situation.

  • Episode 96: Nine
    Feb 28 2025

    We went to our first concert staging of a musical and it was ... interesting? This episode features some discussion of the show in question, but significantly more time devoted to talking cats with weird food preferences, the Jonas Brothers, imaginary Les Mis casting and arguing about The Time Traveler's Wife. Because we are professionals.

  • Episode 94: Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812
    Feb 14 2025

    We got to see one of the hottest shows of the season on our first trip to the Donmar Warehouse. It may be based on a "complicated Russian novel," but don't worry; we're as silly as usual. So, in amongst incisive analysis of musical styles and the show's prospects of a transfer, we get into My Little Pony while also contemplating whether everyone really was kung fu fighting and possibly making up some 'War and Peace' plot points.

  • Episode 93: Broadway Round-up featuring Suffs, The Outsiders and more!
    Feb 7 2025

    In craziness not witnessed since our Edinburgh Fringe episode, here, we talk about six different shows (one of which, funnily enough, is Six). In amongst the incisive theatrical analysis, you'll be treated to toilet updates, altercations with ushers (not with Usher, although he does get a mention too) and, crucially, recommendations for the best cookie in NYC.

  • Episode 92: Death Becomes Her x Maybe Happy Ending x Swept Away
    Jan 31 2025

    It's back to Broadway for us for a crazy Christmas of theatre. In amongst the usual deep and intellectual discussion of these three new shows, look forward to hand gesture-based discrimination, merch reviews and some nonsense about whether cows can use phones.

    Jan 24 2025

    As if the eclectic mix of shows being discussed here wasn't enough, we can also offer travel and weather advice, confessions of childhood-lion-crushes, some judgement of our fellow audience members and, as usual, enthusiastic warbling.
