Gracie McGonigal and Ashley Goh - Series 4 Episode 9
Welcome to Represent, the queer musical theatre podcast.
My name is Dr. James Lovelock and I'm an academic and a huge musical theatre fan, exploring the representation of all things queer in the musical theatre industry.
Today's guests are the iconic Gracie McGonigal and the extraordinary Ashley Goh, who met during a production of the new musical The Phase at the Vaults Festival.
Since then, Gracie has wowed us with her performances as Lily in Fangirls at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, and Ashley has imparted her wisdom as Alex in Babies at the Other Palace.
We discuss the importance of queer spaces, the joys of workshopping, and our hopes for the future of musical theatre.
As always, you can follow us on your favourite podcast platform, and don't forget to share this episode on social media.
