On this episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast, we’re leaving on a jetplane and heading over to the Great White Way!

This week, head critic Sarah Crompton and managing editor Alex Wood turn their attention to Broadway – something that a whole raft of West End productions seem to be doing at the moment.

With Operation Mincemeat, Stranger Things: The First Shadow and Tammy Faye set to join Sunset Boulevard and The Hills of California over in New York this Tony Awards season, all the signs are there… Closer to home, The Lion King’s 25th anniversary provided a poignant moment of reflection.

Crompton and 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 here. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode! We’ll also be uploading them to YouTube every weekend.
