About Overstudies

Chaos-filled, London-based duo Bekki and Charley overanalyse theatre, musicals and everything in between. Overstudies is a space to appreciate theatre purely for the joy of appreciating theatre, where we celebrate the unsung understudies, covers and swings and discuss lesser-covered topics affecting the industry today.

   Charley Goes To Broadway

   This week we've got a very special guest on the podcast: our very own Charley! We're getting the run down on her recent trip to Broadway, finding out about all of the eight(!) shows she crammed in in seven days, as well comparing the West End and Broadway theatre scenes. Get your tissues ready and prepare for laughs, thrills and sobs as we discuss everything from Cabaret to & Juliet, Hadestown to Six and so much more.

   Why Am I So Single?

   Heartbroken? Chronically single? Not a huge fan of all that romance stuff? Well do we have a musical for you! Or at least we did... Following it's recent departure from the West End's Garrick Theatre and the announcement of a highly anticipated cast recording dropping in March 2025, we reflect back on the newest musical creation from Marlow and Moss (the team behind smash hit Six). We chat about why this show worked, where it potentially missed the mark, and where we think this show could thrive in the future.

   LGBTQ+ Representation in Theatre

   Here in the UK, February is LGBTQ+ History Month and as two passionate members of the community we wanted to dedicate this week's episode to talking about some of our favourite queer representation on the stage. We talk about the importance of positive representation of gender diversity, the need for more representation of femme identities and how all greek adaptations are, by default, a little bit fruity.
