The Food Programme

Back Stage Food – How performers eat before, during and after the show.


Listen Later

In this exploration of backstage food, Jaega Wise meets actors and musicians to find out how they eat to fuel their performance.

The journey begins backstage at the Criterion Theatre in the West End, to meet stars of the hit musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) Dujonna Gift and Sam Tutty.
From there Jaega chats to baker Stacy Donnelly who’s provided thousands of real-life pies for Waitress the Musical on broadway, and gets advice from nutritionist and dietician Jasmine Challis on the best diet to fuel dancers.
She also heads to Joe Allen’s in Covent Garden, which is renowned for feeding Hollywood stars, and chats to author of “My Family and Other Rock stars”, Tiffany Murray, who’s written a memoir about watching her Mum Joan acting as chef for performers of the 70s such as Queen, Black Sabbath and David Bowie.
And finally she’ll be getting to know popstar couple Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones, to talk riders, eating on tour, and the breakfast Sophie can’t do without.

Presented by Jaega Wise and produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Tory Pope.
