  • Fascinating!

    As a huge fan of the musical this has been a fascinating listen. The backstage building blocks of the most groundbreaking show of its day, from all angles! Sîan Reeves interviews wonderfully from her viewpoint as one of the youngest members of the original cast and her guests are open, honest, interesting and full of great great stories about this fabulous show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Caird Interview
Q: So, did you feel like you were squashing everything into act two?
Yes, act two was easier to structure but creating the right pacing was crucial, and we had to make sure critical story elements were presented before the interval.
John Caird Interview
Q: Were you shocked when we had the bad reviews at the Barbican?
I was a bit prepared for it due to British cultural snobbery towards musicals, but I thought the audience's reaction was what mattered, which was overwhelmingly positive.
John Caird Interview
Q: How long did it take you two then, once you were asked to do it?
It took us months to analyze the whole novel and develop the adaptation, but lots of cuts were made during the process due to its length.
John Caird Interview
Q: Can I ask John, who asked you to direct with Trevor this incredible musical?
Cameron approached Trevor along with Peter Farrego, who initially wanted to direct it himself after witnessing the Paris production.
Peter Polycarpou Interview
Q: Do you think Les Miserables is one of your favourite shows that you've ever done?
Yes, definitely one of my top five.
