A warm welcome for Paddington – and a sad farewell to the great Tom Stoppard

Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Hopping onto a remote recording at the earliest opportunity, Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood discuss the legacy of the late, great Tom Stoppard – following the news of his death on Saturday night.

In an episode of two halves, this is accompanied by a reflection on the glorious response to Paddington The Musical, which received a deluge of glowing reviews following its Sunday night world premiere.

Crompton and Wood host a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past and in future.

The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms – including Apple Podcasts and Audible. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode!
