Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera and Cats were all produced by the same man: Cameron Mackintosh. In Australia for the opening of a new production of Mary Poppins, Cameron shares his journey from humble beginnings to producer extraordinaire.

Also, Anna O'Byrne shares songs and stories inspired by her work with Julie Andrews and we interrogate the Cinderella story with performers from a new production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella and Windmill's radical reinterpretation, Rella.

We are back with a bang and we are delighted to welcome as our special guest Susie Winkworth. Susie is a professional Cellist and Arranger whose tweet streams over the past couple of weeks @winkmusicuk  have garnered more than 75 thousand shares and retweets and highlight perfectly the dilemma facing the creative sector and it's mostly freelance staff of world class performers and technicians.  Susie joins us to discuss the current situation and tell us about an initiative on 6th October "Let Music Live" which is worthy of all our support. You can find more information about this on Instagram and Twitter @letmusicliveuk
