StageDoorCast
11/16/20 • 32 min
We're half way through "Lockdown Two The Sequel", so we turn our attention to what is available as streamed content and review three recent offerings and we have suggestions for more. We think about the possibilities that may come if an effective vaccine is available and look forward to a time when real theatre is available to us all again. Cliff is brave enough to mention the C word as our next show will be early in December and we talk about the sad loss of Bobby Ball and Des O Conner who both graced the Traditional Panto stage in the past.

We are still in lockdown, well mostly, so we present another special and yes eagle eyed listeners will notice that Episode 26 appears to have gone missing in action but in truth we started production on that a few weeks ago and couldn't get logistics sorted so Episode 27 it is!
We review all of the current news theatrical and beyond with regard to the current crisis, discuss how we are going to get back to normality and we are delighted to welcome as our Special Guest Alistair Woodgate of Green Room Productions to talk about the impact lockdown has had on amateur theatre and the prospects going forwards.

Cliff returns from the heart of New York's Theatreland with our first, and we did trail it! Musical Theatre inspired Restaurant review! He also reviews "Come from Away", spoiler alert, we really like it!
Richard brings us two and a half reviews of "Soho Cinders" and "Legally Blonde" and a final thought about "Falsettos" There is a stack of News to get through and Cliff has a mini rant about the early marketing for "Hello Dolly".
We consider The new show from Williams and Walliams, "The Boy in the Dress" and talk about casting for "Back to the Future" We also talk about "Sleepless" the new musical after the film "Sleepless in Seattle" which opens next March but has some early previews before Christmas.

StageDoorCast
07/31/19 • 30 min
The heat must be getting to the boys this week as the "ramble on factor" is high. Despite that quite a lot of news items are chewed over digested and possibly spat out! Richard takes us on a very Biblical set of reviews and we look forward to some new shows coming in 2020.

StageDoorCast
05/22/19 • 43 min
We celebrate the first episode of StageDoorCast with a brief detour into Eurovision where Richard reveals his voting intentions and the boys both wonder how the UK can do better. Then it's back to the job at hand as we consider Man of La Mancha at the ENO. Green Room Productions recent "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at Wyllyotts Theatre Potters Bar and the glorious "Company" which has just finished its run at The Gielgud Theatre in the West End. We also ask the difficult question, "Are prices too high" and "are Patrons no longer getting value for money".

OK let's be honest, we did record this on the day before the General Election but, as we couldn't release it until Saturday eve, let's put all of that behind us and consider "Dear Evan Hansen", "My Best Friends Wedding the Musical", "Be More Chill" and "Pretty Women" amongst much else that we discuss in today's show. Be amazed as Cliff thinks he promunces something wrong, is wrong about that, and gets into a terrible kefuffle! And hear about our plans for the Christmas Special! And a special mention to anyone who guesses what we are talking about in the Pre titles!
