curtain call favourites

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and talking about some of my all-time favourite plays and musicals—the ones I’ve performed in, the ones I’ve watched from the audience, and the ones that still live rent-free in my head years later. I share some of the shows that completely stole my heart, a few memories, and some of the chaos that naturally comes with live theatre (because if something can go wrong on stage… it usually does). I also give a shout-out to the amazing friends, castmates, and production companies I’ve been lucky enough to work with—because let’s be honest, theatre would be a lot less fun without the people you’re frantically whispering lines to in the wings. Expect plenty of theatre love, a few questionable stage memories, and a celebration of the productions and people that make all the rehearsals, missed cues, and last-minute costume fixes totally worth it.
