Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

We’re joined on this week’s bonus episode by Tim Minchin, composer and lyricist of the treasured, international sensation, the RSC’s Matilda the Musical. Minchin is celebrating 15 years of the multi-award-winning musical’s success across the globe, with the West End productions and tour still going strong on UK soil. He also teases four new shows he’s working on over the next few years.

Sarah Crompton and Alex 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!
