Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S12 Ep10: Jason Moore
Q: What makes London the right place to relaunch Avenue Q for its 20th anniversary?
London's appetite for naughty, observant humor and its strong tradition of pantomime and vaudeville-style audience engagement creates a perfect ecosystem for Avenue Q's brand of puppetry and wit, while updating it for a new generation.
Special Episode: Sara Bareilles
Q: What was it like to see Waitress embraced by audiences in the UK and beyond?
Seeing the UK audiences connect with the show in new ways confirmed the show's universality and the power of community around live theatre, while highlighting the ongoing evolution of the material.
Special Episode: Sara Bareilles
Q: When did the show stop feeling like a singular song and start to become something bigger than you?
It happened after years of development and collaboration, when the team and interpreters shaped the material into a full theatrical experience and the audience response confirmed its wider resonance beyond the stage.
S12 Ep8: Mark Addy
Q: Mark, tell me what it was like when you had your headspace in Harold Fry and then the singing car wash was introduced to the story.
The shift felt like a turning point; Harold moves from a silent, internal journey to engaging with people who spark his purpose, and the car wash sequence serves as a catalytic, transformative moment in his pilgrimage.
S12 Ep6: Kelsee Kimmel
Q: What does it then mean when you get the opportunity in your journey, for example, to be the standby, to be a student, to be able to learn?
It means experiencing surreal validation and support along the way, especially from someone as talented as Alicia Keys.
