Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S13 Ep4: Mia Carragher
Q: Can you tell me then about when you got that script and you knew, this is what I'm going to do? Where did you start finding your version of her?
I had watched the film many times and kept thinking about how Jennifer Lawrence would say lines, but after reading the book and going through rehearsals, I found my own approach and built a version that felt true to Katniss while bringing something new to the stage.
S13 Ep2: Tina Sinatra
Q: What will you be thinking about as that curtain goes up?
She expects to be a bundle of nerves but focuses on supporting the actors and the creative team, and she anticipates an overwhelming, emotional moment.
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.
