Undoubtedly one of the best loved stars of the West End, Kerry Ellis has taken on some of the most coveted roles from Eliza Doolitle in 'My Fair Lady' to Grizabella in a revival of 'Cats' at the London Palladium. As Elphaba in 'Wicked', Kerry became one of the biggest names in musical theatre, later on also becoming the first British Elphaba on Broadway. Also boasting a successful recording career, she has frequently collaborated with Brian May and performed in concerts all around the world. More recently she has also launched a popular new podcast 'Keep Calm and Kerry On' featuring some of the biggest stars of the stage.

In this special interview, Kerry Ellis looks back on the last year and how lockdown has changed her life. We also look at how the theatre industry has changed over the years and what her hopes are for the business after the pandemic. A true ambassador for British theatre, we all look forward to seeing Kerry on stage again and from this interview it seems she can't wait to get back too.

The fateful moment has finally arrived to meet the nefarious, the childlike, the ornery, the complicated Wicked Witch of the West!!! Follow Dorothy and friends as they survive attacks by wolves, crows, bees, and (an A for effort attempt) Winkies before Dorothy brings an end to this single-chapter villain. Tara and EmKay discuss their favorite interpretations of the Witch, question language around identity, and decide the Witch of the West has taken form in 2020 as today's internet trolls.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!  Dadgum and Reekus tackle another musical...no, you didn't read that wrong, we decided to break the rules all over again and get out of the theater and to the stage.  It's a wicked good time (Boston accent) as the crew takes a scattered look at the Broadway smash hit, Wicked.  Listen to Gordon, once again, try and explain why musicals don't translate to the big screen!  Hear about Luke's infatuation with the sign language crew at the production!  And the girls...well, the girls got their work cut out for them in a whirlwind of fact checks!  Now go eat your turkey!
