In this episode, Tim & Nathan chat to stage and screen star Keala Settle. After a string of critically acclaimed credits on Broadway, she was catapulted into the international limelight when she starred alongside Hugh Jackman in The Greatest Showman.
She also features in the big screen adaptation of Wicked, out in cinemas later this month, but she’s currently starring in new musical Fly More Than You Fall at Southwark Playhouse Elephant.
We sat down with the Keala during rehearsals to discuss coping with grief, which is a central theme in the piece; how her mother was partly responsible for her Broadway success; and why she loves her lengthy commute to work!

In this episode, Nathan chats to Jac Yarrow, who, fresh out of college, played the title role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the London Palladium; and Zizzi Strallen, whose many stage credits include playing Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre, Fran in Strictly Ballroom and most recently Marie Antoinette in Cake.
Together, they’re about to appear in a star studded concert version of Stephen Schwartz’s Pippin, alongside the London Musical Theatre Orchestra and a 50 strong choir!
Nathan sat down with the pair to find out how rehearsals are going, discuss why they’re in awe of Alex Newell, and find out why the the aspirations of Pippin were very similar to that of original choreographer Bob Fosse.

In this episode, Nathan chats once again to Frank Wildhorn - composer of epic musicals such as Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Wonderland and Bonnie & Clyde to name but a few!
His last project, Death Note - based on the hugely successful Japanese manga comic franchise - had its sold-out European premiere at the London Palladium, followed by an additional run at the Lyric.
Now he’s back in London with another page-to-stage manga adaptation - Your Lie In April - which makes its English language debut at the prestigious Theatre Royal Drury Lane next week.

In this episode, Nathan chats to David Ricardo-Peace & Ellis Rae. They currently star in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the epic stage production that picks up 19 years after the last book in JK Rowling’s phenomenal franchise to find out what happened after the Deathly Hallows!
Nathan sat down with David and Ellis to find out why they think the wizarding world has captured the imagination of millions, how they bring the magic to life on stage, and why, despite the spectacular sets, costumes, and illusions, its the compelling story of the relationship between father and son that moves audiences the most.

In this episode, Nathan chats to Joanna Woodward. She’s currently playing the title role in The Time Traveller’s Wife - a new musical based on Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 debut novel about a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictably, and his wife who is left to cope with his frequent absences.
Nathan sat down with Joanna to discuss why the project has been a marathon not a sprint, the metaphor that means she’s always connected to co-star David Hunter, and how she juggles being a West End leading lady and a full-time mum!

In this episode, Nathan chats to George Ioannides. He’s currently starring as suave, high-stakes gambler Sky Masterson in Nicholas Hytner’s critically acclaimed immersive production of Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theatre.
Nathan sat down with George to discuss his favourite moments in the show, why he loves having the audience so close, and the reason why he nearly didn’t audition in the first place!

In this episode, Nathan chats to Olivier and Tony nominated actor Samuel Barnett, and critically acclaimed playwright Marcelo Dos Santos.
Their current collaboration is FEELING AFRAID AS IF SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN - the Edinburgh Fringe sensation which has just transferred to the Bush Theatre for its first London run. Nathan sat down with Samuel & Marcelo just before opening night to discuss the pressure of combining solo theatre and stand-up comedy, the universality of the issues the piece explores, and why, despite his enviable screen work, Samuel always comes back to theatre!

In this episode, Nathan chats to Jenna Lee-James - a hugely experienced stage actress whose CV is a list of dream roles in musicals from We Will Rock You to Joseph, from MAMMA MIA! to Cats. Her latest addition to that list is as Ice Queen Elsa in Disney’s FROZEN at Theatre Royal Drury Lane! With the original animated movie celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, Nathan sat down with Jenna to discuss how much it means to be playing such an iconic role, the excitement of recording at Abbey Road Studios, and how Hugh Jackman helped make her Dad the proudest man in Scotland!

In this episode, Nathan chats to Sam Tutty - the stage and screen actor who, at the age of just 22, won an Olivier Award for his portrayal of the title role in the London production of Dear Evan Hansen.
His latest project - Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) - is a new musical at the Kiln Theatre in which he plays a naive and impossibly upbeat Brit, flying to the Big Apple for his Dad’s second wedding.
Nathan sat down with Sam the day after his first performance to find out why he loves working at the Kiln, how playing Evan Hansen truly changed his life, and why he’s got his mum to thank for cool audition nerves!

In this episode, Nathan chats to writer, editor and critic, Michael Coveney. His latest book - Master of the House: The Theatres of Cameron Mackintosh - charts the stories of the prolific producer’s eight historic London buildings - their origins, their iconic shows and productions, the stars and the glamour. Lavishly illustrated with images from the Delfont Mackintosh archive, the book also contains original architect drawings, specially-commissioned photographs of the refurbishment, show posters and other theatre ephemera, and many sweeping panoramas of the exquisitely finished spaces.
Master of the House: The Theatres of Cameron Mackintosh is available in hardback from Unicorn Publishing.
