Join me and my guest, the fantublous educator of young minds Elly Meacham as we discuss some of the less successful Stephen Sondheim shows.

The Hit Makers Episode 5: Cameron Mackintosh

Hey team, it's been so long but I am still going. Maybe this year wasn't the best year to start a podcast when it's not the easiest to feel motivated! But I'm feeling determined and I loved talking to Ben Clare (Head of Marketing at the Orange Tree) about the non Paris or Saigon based musicals of Mr Producer's career. Come and listen to us laugh and discuss Moby Dick, the Musical! Martin Guerre and The Witches of Eastwick. Thanks for your patience.
