I Was Paid to Perform Drunk on Stage | Shocks, Shenanigans & Sh*tfaced Shakespeare - Princess Donnough
<p>Princess Donnough is an icon. After making her West End debut as an understudy in I’m Sorry, Prime Minister, she was quickly “bumped up” to leading the show night after night – a whirlwind experience that would test any performer’s nerve.</p><br><p>But if that sounds intense, it’s nothing compared to her time with Sh*tfaced Shakespeare.</p><br><p>In this episode, Princess takes us inside one of the most gloriously chaotic shows in theatre – where one performer is absolutely smashed and the rest of the cast have to somehow keep a Shakespeare play on track. From audience members being dragged onstage to impromptu dance breaks and theatre mayhem, she shares what it’s really like to perform in a show where anything can (and does) happen.</p><br><p>Princess also introduces us to her unforgettable stage persona Levi, explains why she keeps coming back to the madness, and offers a survival guide to dealing with the world’s worst hanxiety.</p><br><p>Alongside the chaos, we hear about her meteoric rise in the West End, and Princess reflects on her journey into an industry she didn’t grow up around, what kept her going through those early years of graft, and why she’s so passionate about making sure everyone gets their shot.</p><br><p>This is an episode about resilience, risk, and the joy of letting go – and a reminder of exactly what makes the West End so special.</p><br><p>Princess Donnough – You’re On Tonight</p><br><p>If you enjoyed the show, you can follow us at:</p><br><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youreontonight/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@youreontonight</a></p><br><p>TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@youreontonight" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@youreontonight</a></p><br><p>YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@YoureOnTonight" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@youreontonight</a></p><br><p>Get in contact at: <a href="mailto:youreontonight@gmail.com%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youreontonight@gmail.com </a></p><br><p>Hosted by Kara Alberts-Turner & Liam Horrigan.</p><br><p>Produced by and recorded at The Sound Company, London. </p><br><p>For <a href="https://www.sound.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Sound Company</a>: Dom Boucher, Luke Nagy, Gareth Wood & Nick Thackeray-Cron alongside Freya Baldwin & Seb Stone.</p><br><p>Show image by Louisa Sexton.</p><p>Produced by The Sound Company. www.sound.co.uk</p><br><p>Get in touch:</p><p>youreontonight@gmail.com</p><p>www.instagram.com/youreontonight</p><p>www.youtube.com/youreontonight</p><p>www.tiktok.com/youreontonight</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

I’ve Covered Beetlejuice & Willy Wonka | Ambition, Adapting & Almost Giving Up - James Haxby
<p>James Haxby is an understudying legend. He’s worked on some of the biggest shows in the world - from 9 to 5 to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where he covered the iconic role of Willy Wonka. </p><br><p>But when James understudies - he goes all in. He tells us how he covered fourteen roles in a single production, and is currently understudying Beetlejuice on its Australian and international tour, stepping into the shoes of the role’s creator, Eddie Perfect.</p><br><p>In this episode, James shares what it’s really like to cover such legendary parts, and how connecting with other covers across the world became a lifeline in some of the most high-pressure moments of his career.</p><p>Along the way, he takes us inside his time performing with the Pop-Up Globe in Australia and New Zealand – from ‘original practice’ Shakespeare to sweating it out in full armour in 40-degree heat. He also tells the story of being pushed onstage on opening night of his first understudying job - handed a script, a shot of whiskey, and told simply to get onstage.</p><br><p>We also dive into the surprising differences between working in the UK and Australia - and why it’s not just about the weather.</p><br><p>But more than anything, this is an episode about resilience. From struggling to find work in Australia, to moving across the world to go to drama school, to nearly giving up on acting altogether - before one final audition changed everything.</p><br><p>James Haxby - You’re On Tonight.</p><br><p>If you enjoyed the show, you can follow us at:</p><br><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youreontonight/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@youreontonight</a></p><br><p>TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@youreontonight" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@youreontonight</a></p><br><p>YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@YoureOnTonight" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@youreontonight</a></p><br><p>Get in contact at: <a href="mailto:youreontonight@gmail.com%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youreontonight@gmail.com </a></p><br><p>Hosted by Kara Alberts-Turner & Liam Horrigan.</p><br><p>Produced by and recorded at The Sound Company, London. </p><br><p>For <a href="https://www.sound.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Sound Company</a>: Dom Boucher, Luke Nagy, Gareth Wood & Nick Thackeray-Cron alongside Freya Baldwin & Seb Stone.</p><br><p>Show image by Louisa Sexton.</p><p>Produced by The Sound Company. www.sound.co.uk</p><br><p>Get in touch:</p><p>youreontonight@gmail.com</p><p>www.instagram.com/youreontonight</p><p>www.youtube.com/youreontonight</p><p>www.tiktok.com/youreontonight</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
