Two theatre greats – Hamilton’s Thomas Kail and musical star Frances Ruffelle – discuss their latest projects

An interview double bill to end the week on the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Our main episode ran early to coincide with the barnstorming production of Jesus Christ Superstar at The London Palladium, but we had to wrap up the week with something special.

Firstly, you can hear award-winning director Thomas Kail discuss his work on the live-action version of Moana, now sailing into cinemas across the world. We also ask Kail if he’d ever give Hamilton the same treatment… secondly, we head to Pitlochry Festival Theatre where stage legend Frances Ruffelle is premiering I Can Die Too, a brand new play with music co-created with Alan Cumming and Sally George. Ruffelle unpacks the fascinating, metatheatrical new work.

Lead critic Sarah Crompton and editor-in-chief 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!
