S13 Ep1: Calam Lynch
He’s the stage and screen actor that’s earned himself a wealth of fans from across both mediums thanks to his varied and detailed work, with projects like Bridgerton 2, Benediction, Black Beauty, Mrs Wilson, Derry Girls, What It Feels Like For A Girl, Ghosts, Lord of the Rings, Archie, Sweetpea and Wife, to name but a few. And now, he’s stepping into his first principal stage role to star in Tom Wright’s new play Please Please Me, which plays at the Kiln Theatre until 29th May. So here, in an exclusive conversation recorded just as the show began its life at the Kiln Theatre, we dive into the magic of bringing a story like Please Please Me to the stage, including exploring the “complicated” life of Brian Epstein - the unsung, gay legend and ‘Fifth Beatle’. We also explore the safety of not having an audience all the way to the thrill of a sold-out one, the power of literature and research in building an understanding of the past and how music helps bring people together. Plus, how he loves jumping between stage and screen to apply his craft to both, becoming a student to leading industry peers and why he wanted to push himself out of his safety zone and honour the legacy of this remarkable music pioneer.Host: William J Connolly Produced by: William J Connolly/Darren Bell kilntheatre.com Learn more about your ad choices.

S12 Ep11: Victoria Hamilton-Barritt
She’s the newly-crowed Olivier winner and certified West End leading star that’s currently delivering the performance of a lifetime as Millicent Clyde in the original London cast of Paddington: The Musical at the Savoy Theatre. From her time rising through the ranks to starring roles in Hadestown, Cinderella, Death of a Salesman, Murder Ballad and many, many others, she’s earned herself a career on the stage like no other. In this exclusive conversation direct from her home, we reflect on stepping into the darkness to spend her days hunting down the most famous bear of all of London as Millicent Clyde in Paddington: The Musical, and why there’s joy in those Pretty Little Dead Things. Plus, we celebrate the unmatched response to the show, how it’s “tough” to be mean to Paddington on stage when he’s looking directly into your eyes - somebody she describes as “the most perfect specimen” - and why there are cheers and tears every night when the little guy makes his first entrance. We also explore the joyful complexities of being a working mum in her 40s in the arts, the “wonder” of singing Anais Mitchell in Hadestown and why Paddington stands for “everything that’s right in the world”. Note: This episode was recorded before Victoria was crowned with her recent Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

S12 Ep10: Jason Moore
He’s the Tony-recognised director and all-round king of LOL that’s helped bring to life some of the funniest and grandest pieces of live theatre and film - from Shrek: The Musical to Pitch Perfect, all the way to Sisters, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and his Tony-winning smash-hit show Avenue Q - which now celebrates 20-plus years since its first off-Broadway opening back in 2003. And now, the famous talking and singing puppets return back to London with a thrilling new, slightly tweaked but all-star original production in the West End with a special 20th-anniversary production brought together by the original Broadway creative team. In an exclusive conversation in London where he rejoins his host of all-star creatives, Avenue Q’s original director reflects on the power of singing puppets, tackling topics that seem somewhat off-limits head-on when you’ve got a furry friend by your side, and what the first reactions were like to the show all those years ago - including a certain scene where the puppets get down and dirty in You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love). Plus, the rare task of revisiting a show 20+ years later, updating his material for a 2026 audience and how Lucy, The Slut’s now infamous live performance of Special for the then Prince Charles came about. We also dive into key moments from his film,television and stage career including mounting Shrek: The Musical for Broadway - farting ogres and all - working with Reese Witherspoon on the upcoming Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle, and why he shares all our collective excitement at the new Murder She Wrote adaptation starring Jamie Lee Curtis as iconic mystery writer Jessica Fletcher, which he is set to also direct.
