He's there... The Phantom of the Opera!

Join us as we deep dive into the history behind one of the most beloved musicals of all-time, The Phantom of the Opera. 

Listen up! In this episode, we're joined by the beautiful Maddison Firth who plays the role of Heather Chandler in the West End production of Heathers and can also be seen playing the role in the Roku Channel pro-shot of Heathers!

After a wide search in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York over the course of several months, the team behind Jim Steinman's Bat Out of Hell The Musical finally found their lead - Canadian artist, Travis Cormier! 

We are so thrilled to be joined by Travis Cormier on this episode of Breaking the Curtain where we discuss everything from his Strat audition process to his Tim Horton's order!

In this episode, we discuss the creation behind Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's Little Shop of Horrors. You know, the horror comedy rock musical about a florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh.

The swanky 10-story Midtown apartment house at 51 St. didn’t exactly scream ‘murder’ when you strolled by. In fact, it was home to a glamorous celebrity couple of the stage and screen living the high life during the Roaring Twenties. However, on a warm June 9th in 1929 when shrieks were heard coming from the building, the NYPD didn’t expect to find a Broadway star laying dead in her bed.

This is the tragic murder of Margaret Lawrence.

Calling all Corn Nuts!

We sat down with Erin Caldwell to chat all about playing the role of Veronica Sawyer in the West End production of Heathers The Musical! Erin shares with us her pre-show rituals, on-stage mishaps (Um, J.D? More like 'Jay-Z'!) and performer advice. 

Is everyone awake? Yes? Good!

This Show History episode is all about rage, love and punk rock.
