Hello! Hope life is groovy?

Joining Ben in Benjy's Cafe this week is actor, the wonderful, Nic Greenshields.

Nic has played some of the biggest roles in Musical Theatre, including the title role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash hit, The Phantom of the Opera, & Inspector Javert in the global phenomenon, Les Miserables.

In this episode, Nic shares the buzz & pressures of playing such iconic characters, including auditioning for the Phantom & appearing in Cilla for ITV, alongside Sheridan Smith.

Ben & Nic also discuss the joy of a happy work/life balance. Plus, the benefits of exercise for good mental health, including Nic's love of running.

And how away from the stage, making memories with friends & loved ones is paramount & why cherising life's simple moments is so important for Nic.

Ben & Nic appeared together in the 1st National Tour of Disney's Beauty & The Beast, way back in 2001. Time flies & so does this episode. A lovely reminder to pick up the phone & say hello.

Nic has a voice from the Gods & a heart of gold. You'll love him.

Pop the kettle on & enjoy listening.
