Get ready for some serious fangirling...

We are 1! Thank you so much for all the support! This episode we’re thrilled to be celebrating a whole year of the podcast! What a way to celebrate than with some amazing topics? Understudies; the hardest working people in theatre? A musical with no dialogue; unbearable? And we chat with Mischief company members Leonard Cook and Jean Luke Worrell from The Comedy About A Bank Robbery about life in one of the funniest shows in the West End! 

It’s the week of the 2019 Olivier awards! Elise bores Scott with her award predictions, we have a very personal round of ‘Getting to Know You’ and lots of fun and chat around chucking out theatre programmes, rustling sweets and covering your home in musical theatre memorabilia. Scott obviously does not approve! Listen on and be swept away on a magic carpet of moans, groans and laughs!

The guys are back with another hilarious episode of discussions on arriving late to take your seats, they chat to superstar Olivier award winner Rebecca Trehearn and Elise reveals the most ambitious thing she’s ever done at a theatre!

Buckle in for an episode of laughs, opinions and awful innuendos…

This week Elise & Scott are back with a super musical theatre guest, the incredible Daniel Boys for some chat and giggles backstage at Town Hall & Symphony Hall Birmingham. They also dig deep and chat all things ushers, emotional theatre trips and Scott asks the BIG question; has the theatre world run out of ideas?

Soooooo... this episode we take a detour! We present to you the ENCORE PART 1! A short episode filled with some honest confessions, off the cuff chat and a few flashbacks to make you giggle! To quote Elise, "Life gets in the way but musical theatre goes on..." Bare with us! Next time we'll be live from the big apple! Untill next time musical lovers and haterz...

Scott went to see a Musial… ON HIS OWN! This is HUGE! How did he get on? What trials and tribulations did he meet along the way? This week we chat more theatre etiquette, why Elise ended up ranting on twitter.. (A clue it involves Titanic and the World Cup), a tricky what comes next for Scott and an exciting revelation about our final episode of the series! Start spreading the news...

This episode Scott reveals why certain musicals REPULSE him. It’s quite hard hitting for the MT lover but neverless Elise attempts to win him round with her chat to the touring cast of ‘Matildia’ ahead of their 10 week stint at the Birmingham Hippodrome and we pay our respects to the incredible Dame Gillian Lynne.

WE'RE BACK! After a very short hiatus we return to talk about the powerhouse musical 'Bat Out Of Hell', Interval Etiquette, 'Titanic, The Musical' (yeah, it does sink...) and Scott delivers his best What Comes Next to date. Be prepared to wowed or maybe slightly underwhelmed and do we need to change the name of the podcast?

Elise has been to the theatre again to see a few things, Scott has not BUT he will have done by the time we reach Episode 4! This week the guys talk UK tours including 'Crazy For You' and 'An Officer and a Gentleman', Crazy cheese references, is it acceptable to eat in a theatre environment? The Greatest Showman as a stage musical (Scott predicted it!) AND what comes next proves our closest one yet at seeing Scott get one actually correct! Get ready for pure lols and heavy food references.

Jukebox musicals! Love them or loathe them, Elise puts some of the most famous ones to the test with a clueless Scott. The results are more than hilarious. ALSO this week we discuss Spongebob Squarepants up for a Tony, why EVERYONE is obsessed with The Greatest Showman AND Scott provides the craziest answer to this weeks What Comes Next!

This week Elise makes her first attempt at turning Scott's musical views around with a dose of 'Wicked', 'Blood Brothers' and more! Can Scott learn to defy gravity? Is it really ok to watch theatre on your own? And what will be their musical of the week? CLUE! It's a 'Work Of Art'!
