Episode One - Talking Musicals with… MARIA FRIEDMAN

Actor/Director extraordinaire Maria Friedman tells us how her first West End show left her confused and baffled, we discover that her first audition wasn’t quite what you would expect from a 4 time Olivier Award winner, and how an autograph hunter left her and Stephen Sondheim in hysterics. This exploration of Maria’s musical memories will inspire and entertain in equal measure.

Episode Eight - Talking Musicals with RICHARD DARBOURNE!
Leading UK theatre producer Richard Darbourne gives us great insights from a producers perspective.
