My ultimate showtune playlist: The WOS team
Imagine the scenario: Life as we know it is about to end, if you are not in the bunker in 5 minutes you will be blown to smithereens. You have your iPod, but it's empty, you only have time to save five showtunes from being forgotten for eternity. What would they be?
We'll be asking this question to a different theatregoer/theatremaker each week. To kick off this new feature, we thought we'd ask the guys here in the WhatsOnStage office.
