Jesus Christ Supersized – and why Pride is better as a musical than a film

Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

What’s the buzz? Our main episode has landed a few days early to coincide with the opening night of Jesus Christ Superstar at The London Palladium! Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood discuss Sam Ryder’s performance and the show’s ability to awe on the largest stages.

Elsewhere, it was a big, bold, exciting opening for Pride at the National Theatre, while Sarah and Alex mull over big news stories from the NT, RSC and Bridge.

Lead critic Crompton and editor-in-chief 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!
