We're back! With an episode we recorded in October! Which hasn't been posted till now because the laptop was on the blink! Anyway, we have returned with tales of a brilliant pair of shows, a first trip to Birmingham and a PUBLIC DISORDER REPORT. It's all very exciting.

Here's the tale of our Musical Con weekend, confusingly prefaced with a detailed analysis of 'Evan Almighty.' As usual, dinosaurs get a mention, along with problematic 90s film plots and peanut-butter based snacks.

It's the musical adaptation of Juno's favourite film! This is big news. This is discussed among other topics including anti-Paddington slander, our acapella skills and whether Jurassic Park would make a good musical.

We went to see this brand new show during its premiere run at the lovely York Theatre Royal (which, incidentally, has the best sight lines of any stalls seats anywhere). Somehow we end up discussing how horses would wear trousers, Juno seems to lose herself trying to remember an Eminem song (see what I did there?) and at least one of us is definitely about to lose their voice.

A glaring contrast in shows in this episode, with bonus discussion of two straight plays too. What a treat! Listen out for us being judgy about other people's toilet habits and Juno speculating on the Birmingham marshmallow scene.

The last of our London summer shows are the topic of discussion in this episode, also featuring chatty audience members, inclement weather and Juno for some reason deciding right before recording a podcast was the right time to put on a face mask that would a) limit her ability to speak and b) make her look like a fictional serial killer.

Inevitably, we saw the summer's biggest show in the West End: Jamie Lloyd's Evita. It was... a whole thing, involving the world's tallest man, baffled customers at the Angus Steak House and, for some reason, a Harry Potter tangent. And probably loads of Oliviers. Not for us.

This summer, we made our second trip to Edinburgh for the craziness of the Fringe and it was EPIC. You'll hear all about it in this episode, featuring Shakespeare, netball, aerobics, acapella, velociraptors and Jaffa Cakes, as well as a insight into Juno's complex life plans despite being only 12. Roll on Fringe 2026!

Don't worry; despite Juno's confusing into to this episode, this is still the same silly theatre podcast. In this episode, we're talking about a charming childhood favourite (including dogs) and a classic musical with metaphors that are either very profound or confusing, depending on which one of us you agree with. Let us know if you've seen either of these shows!

In a change to our usual programming, we're talking about a play today, with bonus lecturing on the history of football from Katy; who wouldn't want to listen to that?
