Welcome to this week’s bonus episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

It’s a Tim Rice double-bill special this afternoon as we bring you red carpet interviews from London and New York.

On Sunday, Rachel Zegler picked up the Best West End Debut Performer award at The Stage Debut Awards in London for her performance leading Evita in the West End, and chatted after picking up her prize about the unique experience.

Over in New York, the stars of the forthcoming production of Chess came together to discuss making all the right moves in the upcoming revival of the much-loved show.
