0102: Singing Springer Sep 30, 2008

Show notes

IN THE LATE NINETIES, the UK was gripped by the "reality TV" sensation of the Jerry Springer show. A musical was bound to follow, but few predicted the quality and acclaim that went with Richard Thomas' and Stewart Lee's operatic and theological treatment of the subject. Rising unstoppably from the Battersea Arts Centre scratch nights to Carnegie Hall, by way of the National Theatre and a West End run, Richard Thomas joins Tim Saward to talk through an overnight success that actually took many years! Ryan Molloy also talks to Nick Hutson about his recollections of playing Tremont at the National Theatre, and Tim joins DJ Excalibah to talk about his role in the urban musicals at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in the time of Philip Hedley and Kerry Michael.

0101: MusicalTalk Room 101 Sep 23, 2008

Show notes

Here in the UK, we have a TV show called Room 101. They say imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery, so we've taken that format and used it for this week's episode of MusicalTalk. The aim of the show (based on the concept from George Orwell's Room 101 from 1984) is that you get to put your most hated items into it, so they may never be seen again by anyone. Join Tim and Thos as they try to pursuade Nick to banish their nightmares for ever into Room 101!
