This is my go-to podcast for all things theater. Even as a bloke from the states, I appreciate his West-End reviews and thoroughly enjoy when he makes pilgrimage to see theater in NYC. OMG, Hey,No notes.
I love Mickey’s takes. I see theater quite regularly and when I’m in the UK, I try to see as much as possible while I am there. I enjoyed listening to Mickey’s takes on the performances I’ve seen after I’ve seen them to enrich my understanding and experience. Thank you for your hard work!
Beautifully observed and articulate - love MickeyJo
Always love his observations and the way he expresses himself and his views - insightful - well thought out and impressive.
Love MJ!
As someone who works in theatre I am always so grateful to MickeyJo for his work and insights. They are positive without being flimsy. MickeyJo can be critical in the formal, literary sense where they unpack the meanings of thing. He can also be critical of systems and power in a way that is so useful and accurate - much, MUCH better than attacking performers or crews. Also, his memory of who he has seen in what is OFF THE CHART! And the videos are also funny and fun. How does he do that?! Truly... more
I love MickeyJo on YouTube, so when I found out videos were going to be released in a podcast format I got happy. Now I can listen to all my favorite content while working on other stuff that will require my eyes on it. I still watch the videos when I have the time to, trust. Love you MickeyJo!
