Developing The Shadow

This week, Sam presents a monologue for our lead character. The girls also learn about the smash hit musical Rent, discuss rekindling your motivation and have strong feelings about Harriet's Headscratcher!

In a jam-packed episode, the team explore the character of The Shadow and discuss how they can be used in their musical. They also make Tony Awards predictions, learn about the new Broadway musical Shucked, have an honest conversation about how the industry can better support it's performers, and try to figure out a riddle.

It's our second Birthday and the girls are celebrating with games, musical theatre discussions and a head scratcher that creates some extremely different reactions. Also in this Birthday special, the team check in on their progress following a full read through of the first draft for their musical.

The girls read through an initial draft of the first section of their musical, discuss the "But & Therefore Technique" and progress with their storyboard. Also this week, Aylish talks about the Olivier Award winning musical Standing At The Sky's Edge, Sam discusses a message from one of our listeners, and Harriet asks a turtle themed headscratcher.

In a jam-packed first episode of 2023, the girls are back and flooded with messages and stories from YOU (the listeners). This week, they do a deep-dive discussion into overcoming the moments you want to give up (and whether there are times it is the right step to take), they also talk musical storyboards, social media and counting sheep.

It's the last episode of 2022 and the team are reflecting on their own massive year, giving an update on their recent industry pitch, quizzing you (and each other) on this year in the theatre world; before revisiting their most popular headscratcher to finally get a definitive answer.

In the penultimate episode of 2022, Harriet presents a new scene and the trio decide names and profiles for their main character's friends. They also learn the history behind the musical Waitress, share the roles they'd most like to see each other perform and debate the origins of a famous saying.

Aylish revisits an old scene and presents a song idea to bring it to life. The team also discuss imposter syndrome, characters they connect to emotionally, the one musical they would recommend above all others and answer a crab themed headscratcher.

The girls are back after a short break to share how they felt about pitching their musical Battle for the first time and some new ideas inspired by valuable feedback. Also this week: Aylish tells the creative story behind the musical Next To Normal, Sam shares a listener's question around working with friends and Harriet asks a pet themed headscratcher.
