It’s the show everyone’s talking about (or at least it was when it was still on) and it was announced that it’s transferring to Broadway the day after we went! Coincidence? Or destiny? You decide. In amongst some very intellectual debate about this crazy show, expect to hear pizza-related shout-outs, top University Challenge tips and the highly logical practice of choosing a favourite musical theatre performer based on the football team they support.

Let’s all pretend that we’ve strategically saved this episode about a show we saw in July until now because we always wanted to post it on actual Groundhog Day. Join us as we relive one of our favourite shows of 2023, with fangirling, philosophy and facts about groundhogs aplenty. Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver? Kind of both, but not quite either.

CW: this episode includes brief discussion of

In this episode you’ll hear the consequences of Juno being cajoled into recording while she’s half-asleep or possibly comatose from too much Christmas chocolate. Aside from discussion of this lovely show at the Cruc!ble in Sheff!eld, expect to hear debate about what constitutes Christmas food, giant snails and a bitter tirade against teddy pickers.

Even more love for our favourite theatre, Leeds Playhouse, on this episode, along with plenty of singing (not during the performance though, obviously). Join us as we talk toxic relationships, swooshy skirts and audience behaviour fails.

Here’s the second part of our 2023 awards, including the best shows in London and on tour, as well as well-deserved recognition for a bright young star; you’ll never guess who. And if you thought there was too much Rock, Paper, Scissors in Part 1, prepare to be even more frustrated with our method of making democratic decisions.

Join us for the inaugural Stagie awards as we celebrate our favourites from 2023. Expect many references to Groundhog Day and some very keenly fought rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors: is that how they decide the Tonys? Probably.

In this episode, we discuss a new show at Soho Place, taking in all the important topics: chicken wings, the naming of storms and health and safety, as well as confessions of love for Linzi Hateley (in a totally normal way).

Featuring overuse of the word 'fuzzy' and wild accusations about the extent of someone's crying during the show, here's our episode about the lovely Calendar Girls, which we saw on its current UK tour at Leeds Grand Theatre. Warning: if you have not yet got as far as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Juno is very keen for you to know there's a spoiler at 6 mins 21 seconds into this episode!

In an episode that, at times sounds like an A-level history lesson, Katy desperately tries to avoid just saying this show isn’t good while Juno’s true savage nature is finally revealed. Also featuring what is possibly Stage Appropriate’s first use of the word ‘soliloquy’ as well as the podcast launch of the greatest in-car game ever invented by a bored parent on a long journey.
