S11 Ep51: Myla Carmen, Clove in The Hunger Games
Q: Have you felt that? Do you feel that as someone, you know, carving out your career, the fact that you're like, oh my gosh, I was actually able to express myself and bring an element of myself to these sorts of shows, which I never thought I would?
Carmen says being queer and non-binary is part of their identity that they do not want to leave behind at work. They find it rewarding to represent themself onstage and to hear from audience members who feel seen or inspired.
S11 Ep51: Myla Carmen, Clove in The Hunger Games
Q: When this popped up, what did you think? What made, like, what did you think?
Carmen was thrilled to audition because they had loved The Hunger Games books as a child and wanted to be part of the production.
SPECIAL: Jordan Luke Gage on Redcliffe's West End transfer
Q: But actually when I did a Q&A, and we put that out, so it was on that episode as well, people were like, when are we getting a cast album? You were like, maybe when there's a next iteration of the show, maybe that'll be the perfect time. You're going to get lots more people wondering, asking what's the official answer right now.
Gage confirms a cast recording is planned. The team expects to record it during rehearsals once the score is locked and release it while the show is running in the West End.
SPECIAL: Jordan Luke Gage on Redcliffe's West End transfer
Q: So have you been, you said like, you, you said the budget, the mental tations, et cetera, so that Playhouse, has it been fun to be re-examining everything? What it could look like, how it could feel? Are you tweaking the writing? What's happening?
Gage says the musical has undergone several revisions, including a new song and cuts, while its visual design will retain the Southwark production's identity with enhanced scenery and costumes. Preview performances will help the team assess further changes.
S11 Ep49: Danielle Fiamanya, Joanne in RENT
Q: What happened when the costume change for “Let It Go” did not come off?
Fiamanya kept performing without the planned dress reveal. The contingency plan required her to remove it herself, but she did not think she could do that during the number, so she continued in the costume.
