“It's a show unlike any other that has ever existed. I truly believe that. I think it broke all the rules of what made a successful hit Broadway or West End musical at the time.” This episode features international tour performer Nathan Taylor, who played Bustopher Jones and Gus on the International Tour. Nathan discusses his unexpected history with the show, its universal appeal, and how performers create new character moments nightly. Nathan recounts auditioning in an emotional time in his life, explains how he relates deeply to Gus, and defends Bustopher by clarifying the UK meaning of “gentleman's club.” He shares his personal lore theory that the show can represent multiple Jellicle Ball nights and ages in Gus's life, and describes friendships shaping onstage choices, especially with Jennyanydots. Nathan also shares the death of his mother during the tour, including how she heard his recorded performance as she passed. 00:53 Nathan's CATS History 04:45 Why Cats Works 11:41 Defending Bustopher Jones 22:33 Gus Timeline Theory 26:26 Asparagus vs Peter vs Bustertopher 30:13 Jennyanydots Friendship Lore 42:02 Grief Onstage 44:53 Rapid Fire Check out Nathan on Instagram: @sockmatician Produced by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alan Seales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Broadway Podcast Network⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Social Media: @⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TheWrongCatDied Learn more about your ad choices.

This hour, Scoot talks about bringing back fun times to the West End, dumb comments said by VP JD Vance, marijuana smokers' right to own guns, and a former Olympian being arrested for sticking his hand in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

The Ogunquit Playhouse is not just some theater on the side of the road in Ogunquit, Maine.Every summer for the last 93 years, this "little white box" in one of New England's most eclectic cultural hubs has played home to world premieres of global theatrical sensations, many of which later make their way to the stages of Broadway and London's famed West End. The actors and actresses whom Ogunquit attracts have shelves filled with Tony Awards, ditto for the world-class behind-the-scenes crew members. And perhaps best of all, its $18M annual operating budget allows the Playhouse to pay above-average wages to talented artists in a field notorious for failing to provide a meaningful living.And now, as the Playhouse inches closer to its 100th season on the Seacoast, the not-for-profit entertainment venue has its eyes on the next century, and how the theater can adapt to survive an increasingly difficult artistic climate.From the historic main stage of The Ogunquit Playhouse, Technical Director Geof Dolan (20 years) and Executive Artistic Director Brad Kenney (21 years) sit down with ⁠host Troy Farkas⁠ to discuss the origins of the summer theater in America, how the Playhouse established itself as a world leader in theater, the caliber of talent they attract every summer, how they choose which shows to put on each year, what the Playhouse means to the Seacoast, the theater's ambitious plans for the next century, and more.For their full summer schedule, please visit OgunquitPlayhouse.org for more details.CHAPTERS:The decorated 93-year history of The Ogunquit Playhouse (00:00)Why Ogunquit Playhouse is an anomaly in the theater industry (16:00)Does the Seacoast understand just how world-class the Playhouse is?

Swedish-born artist and vocalist Manda Malina joins the Pirate Studios Podcast to talk about growing up around music, learning Pro Tools at 10, and launching her career through Swedish X Factor as a teenager.In this episode, Manda reflects on the reality of moving from early industry momentum into a more self-directed creative life in LA, where she has learned to prioritise authenticity, fun and versatility over the constant pressure to release music and chase social content.She also breaks down her sound — a blend of Swedish pop, 2000s R&B, lush harmonies and sensual, body-positive energy — and talks about the different sides of her career, from solo releases to Vegas production shows and her jazz cabaret project, Velvet Noir.We also get into the pressure on independent artists, navigating early industry experiences, her recent West End callback for Burlesque, writing with friends, and why Pirate has become a useful space for recording and rehearsals.To close the episode, Manda introduces “Found It”, one of her favourite releases to date.

What happens when the "masterpiece" you expected turns out to be just the beginning of a very different journey?   In this first part of a special release from the archives, I'm sharing the beginning of my landmark conversation with the legendary Paul McGann. Recorded in May 2020 and originally released in August 2020, this was Paul's first-ever podcast interview. While he has hosted many shows since then, this remains the definitive look at the moment he first "went down the rabbit hole" to discuss his life and career with a fan.   To coincide with the 30th anniversary of the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, Paul shares the story of his childhood Olympic dreams, his "acting family" business, and the "indifference" of show business. We talk about why the fans are the true custodians of the TARDIS and why stories are sometimes the only thing that can save our morale and tip the scales toward kindness.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through creativity, curiosity, and play.   In this episode, we discuss: The 2020 Perspective: A snapshot of creative survival recorded in May 2020 during the first months of the pandemic. The Failed Athlete: Why Paul's first ambition wasn't the stage, and how he navigated the "brutality" of not making the cut. The RADA Turning Point: How a "confused kid" who nearly joined the Navy found his way to the Royal Academy. The Custodians of History: Why the fans, not the actors, are the ones who truly look after the Doctor's legacy. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour and just enjoy some creative company? We get together once a month for a relaxed, co-working-style session where you can work on whatever you want—without any pressure to do it "right." Join the Creativity Circle.   Episode breakdown:   0:00 Introduction 1:26 Paul's first-ever podcast interview (Recorded May 2020) 3:24 The Liverpool "acting family" business 5:20 Childhood Olympic dreams and the "brutality" of sport 10:15 Auditioning for RADA and being a "confused kid" 13:38 Sharing an agent with three brothers 19:46 2020 Lockdown: Sanity, cycling, and simple things 23:02 Rehearsing with the brothers for a West End hit 33:14 Bruce Robinson's advice: "Just take the next thing" 39:05 From convention skeptic to fan family 45:46 The 1996 Pilot and the 5-year Vancouver plan 54:32 The Power of Stories: Fables, mythologies, and morale 58:30 Reclaiming kindness: Lessons from the Doctor 1:13:58 Keeping the secret: The "Night of the Doctor" return   Want more?

Last year - Winnipeg Police got a search warrant for an illegal hobo shack on the riverbank in the East Exchange District seemingly operating a bicycle chop shop. Last week - Marty Gold had an exclusive interview with the lawyer of one of the accused, after the controversial case was dropped by the Crown. This week - We review a letter sent to the Winnipeg Sun by police chief Gene Bowers after the warrant was acquired- and in Episode 25 ask listeners to judge whether Bowers owes the citizens of Winnipeg an apology after the case fell apart.Part 1- A brief recap of Marty's report on Sunday about a family told they could leave by employees at an East Kildonan pool after they complained about a pair of “absolutely perfectly symmetrical” breast implants being paraded around by a topless male. Then, an explanation of how his reports about the distortion of annual crime statistics and subsequent interview with lawyer Martin Glazer about the flawed riverbank investigation were incorporated into Kevin Klein's excellent column "Winnipeg's crime statistics no longer reflect lived reality." The publisher of the Sun, Klein stated- "When administrative and legal outcomes become the filter through which crime is counted, the statistics stop reflecting what actually happened in this city. They reflect what the system managed to process and prove... The question worth asking is not whether crime is down on paper. It is whether the paper reflects the street."Every city council candidate should be required to read it and respond.20.05 Part 2- "The article by Mr. Gold demands a response by the Winnipeg Police Service" wrote chief Bowers to the Winnipeg Sun last September, "and Inspector Helen Peters deserves an apology from its author and publisher."Bowers called the column questioning Peter's qualifications to manage the investigation and evaluate if a warrant was needed "a personal attack by a media outlet (that) does not align with the principles of ethical journalism nor does it serve the public interest."As you will hear, considering the flaws Mr. Glazer identified in both the warrant and the investigation - which failed to link the accused to either the shack or to any stolen goods as charged- the last thing Bowers should have been doing was spouting off about how journalists covered the actions of his staff. Bowers and his predecessor, Danny 'Hug-a-Thug' Smyth allowed the mayhem generated by illegal encampments to proliferate and endanger public safety. Was that "ethical"?Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Sun led the way in exposing the violence, theft, and environmental damage allowed by police and elected officials - including former mayor Brian Bowman and then Scott Gillingham - to degrade the quality of life for residents and business owners in the North End, Point Douglas, Downtown, West Broadway, Fort Rouge and West End neighborhoods.35.55- The failure of the high-profile case has attracted the attention of legal minds across Canada- and has resulted in some good questions being raised about how Bowers and his staff could be held accountable. Listen to the potential pathways for members of the public to do so, even if Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors won't. As Kevin Klein wrote- "When major enforcement operationsfall apart in court, police leadership should explain what went wrong rather than go silent. Accountability is not a political attack. It is basic governance."****** The Season Seven Funding Campaign has raised $1630 thus far.

What happens when two successful entertainers reach a point where fame, success, and recognition are no longer enough? On this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan sits down with two fascinating guests whose journeys couldn't be more different—yet somehow arrive at the same destination. First, Armenian artist Eric Shane opens up about leaving Los Angeles for Las Vegas, finding peace after years of inner turmoil, strengthening his faith, overcoming grief, and discovering a healthier perspective on life, music, and relationships. It's a candid conversation about growth, healing, and learning to let go. Then, joining us from England via "JAMS CAM', world-renowned entertainer Kev Orkian shares stories from an extraordinary career that has taken him from concert halls and West End stages to royal performances and international acclaim. Along the way, Kev discusses comedy, philanthropy, Armenia, mental health, and one behind-the-scenes allegation he volunteered about Britain's Got Talent that you'll have to hear for yourself. This episode isn't about celebrity. It's about perspective. One guest found peace. One guest found purpose. Both discovered that success means very little if you don't know who you are when the spotlight fades. In this episode: • Eric Shane on faith, healing, music, and life in Las Vegas • The personal loss that changed everything • Why peace became more important than fame • Kev Orkian on comedy, music, and performing around the world • The surprising story behind his Britain's Got Talent experience • Mental health, resilience, and life beyond the stage • Philanthropy work in Armenia and building a lasting legacy Subscribe for more conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, creators, and worldchangers!

About SONGS OF THE DEAD: When Jack Solomon, a struggling musician who works in London's West End, is killed, he awakens to a new reality in which light and music are used to create magic and where living eras of the past sprawl beneath modern London, layer upon layer, all the way back to recorded history. Jack also soon discovers that many of those who reside in the stratums of London's past have grown angry with the present world, and that their anger is being channeled by a powerful society of light-and-music-based magic wielders who can cross the realms between life and death, between the present and the past. A past where the dead are sowing revolution against the living, and all of history is at stake. About Peter Orullian: Peter Orullian is an American fantasy author, composer, and performer. As a musician, he has toured internationally—fronting various rock and metal bands—written and released multiple albums, and recently founded his own symphonic rock group, Symphony North, which focuses on building trans-media properties to combine music and narrative.

This is the second half of my conversation with Deborah Phillips author of the fascinating book, AND THIS IS MY FRIEND SANDY — SANDY WILSON'S THE BOY FRIEND, LONDON THEATRE AND GAY CULTURE. If you missed the previous episode you may want to catch up with that before listening to this one. The Boyfriend is one of the most popular and successful British musicals of all time. On the previous episode Deborah Phillips shared with us how its creator Sandy Wilson grew up as a musical theater obsessed kid whose idols were Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, and Binky Beaumont — the three dynamic gay theater artists who dominated London's West End in the 1930s and 40s. She also described London's vibrant but clandestine gay theatrical subculture of the early 1950s out of which Sandy Wilson and The Boyfriend emerged. And we even heard a bit about the secret gay language of chorus boys and sailors called “Polari,” and the hilarious BBC radio series, Round The Horne, that introduced Polari to millions of listeners in the mid-1960s, even though most of those listeners had no idea what is was, or understood its connections to gay culture. All of that was, of course, happening at a time when you could be sent to prison for being homosexual. Deborah and I pick up our conversation just as Sandy Wilson is about to launch the first production of The Boyfriend at the private theater club, The Players Theatre, where it became a major hit and quickly moved to the West End.   We then go on to discuss London's other major hit musical of 1952, Julian Slade's SALAD DAYS. Those two shows — both set in the 1920s — created nearly as much excitement as Queen Elizabeth's coronation that same year. In this episode you will hear a clip from Round the Horne featuring two very camp characters named “Julian & Sandy” (inspired by the two songwriters) who pepper their dialogue with Polari words and phrases, and whose catch phrase inspired the title of Deborah Phillip's book. That original West End production of The Boyfriend ran for five years. Meanwhile, an American production opened on Broadway in 1954 and became a major hit in spite of Wilson's objections to how it was redirected for Broadway. 18 years later, in 1972, a film version of The Boyfriend was released, directed by Ken Russell, that Wilson loathed. Wilson went on to create several highly anticipated subsequent musicals including The Buccaneer, Valmouth, and the sequel to The Boyfriend — Divorce Me Darling. None of them, however, were able to achieve the same kind acclaim and popularity as The Boyfriend. Phillips also shares some fascinating stories of several other high-profile projects that got away from Sandy Wilson and went on to legendary success with other songwriters.  Become A PATRON of Broadway Nation!

In this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast, I'm joined by author Dominic Frisby for a conversation that is equal parts monetary history, philosophy, and comedy. Best known to many as a comedian, writer, and commentator, Dominic brings a rare ability to explain complex financial ideas with clarity, humour, and perspective. The discussion traces his journey from trying to finance a West End musical to becoming one of the most recognisable voices in the world of gold and sound money. Along the way, we explore why gold continues to exert such a powerful hold over the human imagination, what its enduring appeal reveals about the nature of money itself, and why the debate over gold remains as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory, Shifts Happen and The Hundred Year Pivot, is available to Copper and Silver Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com.

The latest episode of The Interviews is all about extravagance, high fashion and big spending. But enough about Chris Hewitt. Instead, we're focused on Savage House and Madfabulous, two costume dramas about upper-class types whose lives spiral out of control. In the first, Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy play a married couple who attempt to mount a lavish dinner party, with disastrous consquences, and they tell Chris all about their approach to acting, their connection to the characters and, in one wild, hilarious segment, how one of them handled a very unusual sex scene. Then Chris has a lovely Zoom chat with Callum Scott Howells, the Welsh actor who stars as Lord Henry Paget, a flamboyant real-life figure who is the subject of Celyn Jones' period piece, Madfabulous. The two of them talk about saying the title of the film, about the film's approach to Paget's sexuality, and Howells' upcoming turn opposite Michael Sheen in Amadeus on the West End stage. Oh, and Chris receives an offer that might just change his life... Enjoy!

My guest this week is author Deborah Phillips whose new book is titled: AND THIS IS MY FRIEND SANDY — SANDY WILSON'S THE BOY FRIEND, LONDON THEATRE AND GAY CULTURE. Sandy Wilson's The Boyfriend — for which he wrote the book, music, & lyrics — is one of the most successful British musicals of all time. It emerged in 1952 out of London's secretive but vibrant gay theatrical subculture, at a time when you could be sent to prison for being homosexual.  By the following year both The Boyfriend and Sandy Wilson were the toast of London's West End, and created nearly as much excitement as Queen Elizabeth's coronation that same year. That original West End production ran for five years. Meanwhile, a hit American version of The Boyfriend opened on Broadway in 1954 and made a star out of Julie Andrews. The show was revived on Broadway in 1970 and made a star of Sandy Duncan, and two years later an ill-conceived film version was released, starring Twiggy and Tommy Tune and directed by Ken Russell. Despite all of this, prior to this book, very little has been written about Sandy Wilson. Deborah Phillips, who is Professor of Literature and Cultural History at the University of Brighton, is the first researcher to delve into Wilson's extensive archives out of which she has created an captivating portrait of Wilson as a both a key figure in post-war British theatre and the era's gay culture. This book and interview introduced me to a number of fascinating subjects I had never encountered before including the hilarious BBC radio series, Round The Horne, that inspired the book's title; the history of London's Players Theatre; and the secret gay language, Polari. Exploring all that sent me into several amazing internet rabbit holes and I will be posting articles and video clips that I found there in the Broadway Nation FaceBook Group.

Tony Award-winning Director Sam Pinkleton brings his extraordinary vision to the Broadway revival of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show at Studio 54. He is also known for his work on Cole Escola's Oh, Mary! on Broadway and in London's West End and Josh Sharp's Ta-Da!, and many more. As a choreographer, his work includes Stephen Sondheim's final musical Here We Are, Jeanine Tesori and David Henry Hwang's Soft Power and seven Broadway shows, including Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812. In this episode, Sam discusses why being a people pleaser fits into his work as a director and choreographer, how a shared love of 1970s regional theater with Cole Escola led to Oh, Mary!, and embracing the energy of The Rocky Horror Show fandom.
