    Once again, you manage to verbalise almost exactly what I didn’t even realise I thought about this production. Thanks for another spot on review.

  • Thorough and knowledgeable dramaturgy!

    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.

  • Love MickeyJo

    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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

find out about NERO, the new musical | an interview with Andrew Barth Feldman and Steven Sater
Q: What is your greatest aspiration for how they're going to be affected by this piece, and what they're going to take from it?
Sater hopes the show will sound an alarm about the state of the world, while Feldman hopes it encourages skepticism toward charismatic leaders rather than prescribing a particular action.
find out about NERO, the new musical | an interview with Andrew Barth Feldman and Steven Sater
Q: What else struck you about this material when this arrived with you?
Feldman was drawn to the show's unflinchingly political material and the opportunity to originate a role in a new musical. He also valued the chance to expand his acting skills and experience UK theatre.
INTO THE WOODS cast on opening night | interviews with the stars of the West End Revival
Q: What's the trick to getting through a number like “Your Fault” and surviving it?
John Dagleish says a very deep breath helps. The song's script is exceptionally dense and fast, so he focused on mastering its precise, mechanical pace.
INTO THE WOODS cast on opening night | interviews with the stars of the West End Revival
Q: What's it been like taking on this role?
Laura Pitt-Pulford says playing the Baker's Wife is a dream role, though it comes with pressure because of the performers who have played it before her.
Mickey-Jo met the original West End GLINDA! | a chat with Helen Dallimore for WICKED's London Anniversary INTERVIEW
Q: Final question: should Glinda have an Australian accent in the London production, given Wicked's Broadway origins and subsequent adaptations?
No; I enjoyed finding how the British version of the character would sound and felt that the Australian production preserved its own voice, though accents vary by market.
