Michael Harrison on ten years of pantomime back at the Palladium – and working with Andrew Lloyd Webber on a new wave of productions

Welcome to this bonus episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Few producers are as intrepid as Michael Harrison – steering hits like Evita, Hello, Dolly!, Starlight Express, Gypsy, Titanique and The Bodyguard. But one centrepiece of his producing portfolio is the Palladium pantomime – the crown jewel of the London panto season and renowned for its big sets, big laughs and even bigger innuendo levels (courtesy of one Julian Clary).

Alex Wood heads to MHE towers to discuss ten years of panto back at the Palladium – and why Michael considers himself the worst usher to have ever worked at Edinburgh Playhouse.
