Matthew Seadon-Young is currently starring alongside Kelsey Grammer in Big Fish the musical. His credits include Gerry Goffin in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Tony in Billy Elliot and Bobby in Urinetown. We talked about what it’s like playing opposite your idols, how far you can push yourself when there are no understudies, and being interrogated by security officials at the Oscars. In this episode we’re backstage in Kelsey Grammer’s dressing room, which has the loudest air conditioning you’ve ever heard. Big Fish the musical is running at The Other Palace until 31st December.
