Every Musical Ever

Each week, host Richard Carroll discusses a different musical with smart and hilarious guests, including Joel Creasey, Lucy Durack, Leigh Sales, David Campbell, Virginia Gay and Julia Zemiro. Each musical gets an in-depth going-over – from deconstructing the minutiae of the plot, to fan-girling over the songs, reminiscing about the impact of the musical on our lives, and interrogating the unanswered questions we’ve always wanted resolved.

Richard Carroll is joined by Helpmann winning actress Elise McCann to discuss the blockbuster musical WICKED which recently overtook The Phantom of the Opera to become the second most successful musical of all time.

They discuss the development of the show, the redundant Dragon Clock, the embarrassing elements to the story (Aanimals), their own previous encounters with Stephen Schwartz, and the differences between being an Elphaba alternate, standby or understudy.

Richard Carroll is joined by the fabulous, hilarious, knowledgeable, and bi-lingual (but not in Spanish) Julia Zemiro to discuss West Side Story. One of the most famous and influential musicals of all time, West Side Story brought together some of the giants of the genre - Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. Based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the musical broke new ground in its subject matter, and its use of integrated choreography to advance storytelling in ways never seen before.

Richard and Julia go through the creation of the show, memorable productions through history, and the movie adaptation - as well as touching on Rita Moreno's EGOT, Julia's own memorable audition for the show, and Cher's unmissable one-woman version.
