To celebrate reaching this milestone of 500 … the podcast will be dropping an episode a day for the next week.
It’s a stellar line up and I cannot wait to share each episode with you.
Episode 502 is a highlights package featuring some of my favourite moments from the seven seasons of the show.
Episode 503 features funny man and all round nice guy Shane Jacobson, currently on stage in Sydney in Neil Simon’s THE ODD COUPLE.
In Episode 504 we talk with Playwright Melanie Tait. Her new play THE QUEEN’S NANNY takes to the stage in September at The Ensemble Theatre.
For Episode 505 I was thrilled to talk with Australian choreographer Fabian Aloise. Fabian has recently opened his first show in the West End theatre district of London as Director, with the musical KATHY & STELLA SOLVE A MURDER.
Fabian is also the choreographer for the exciting new take on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s SUNSET BOULEVARD. The production directed by Jamie Lloyd and starring Nicole Scherzinger won 7 Olivier awards and opens on Broadway in October.
Next up in Episode 506, it was my privilege and honour to celebrate the legacy of Theatre architect Vivian Fraser with his daughter Sharon. Viv is the man responsible for designs of the Belvoir street theatre and the development of the Wharf 4/5 theatre precinct in Walsh bay. It is an extraordinary legacy and I know this chat will inform and fascinate.
Concluding the week with episode 507 is playwright James Elazzi who also opens a new show on July 27th - KARIM which will play at Parramatta Riverside theatre for the National Theatre of Paramatta.
But for this episode - 501, I’d like to take you back to STAGES very first episode in April 2018. I was beyond thrilled when the legendary Toni Lamond keenly accepted my invitation. A woman of firsts, it seemed inevitable that she’d have to be first guest on a podcast that has now made it to 500!
