Sarah Hadland may be known to many as Miranda’s best mate Stevie in the BBC sitcom, but she’s often busy on stage, having recently appeared in plays at the Almeida, Donmar Warehouse and Trafalgar Studios. She’s currently starring in the Lyric Hammersmith’s production of Michael Frayn’s classic comedy Noises Off which runs in the West End at the Garrick Theatre, and we went backstage to chat to her about the comedy, keeping a stage-screen balance as an actor, and the incredibly famous guests the show has welcomed to the stalls. .The music used in this podcast is Acid Trumpet by Kevin McLeod, used under Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

As soon as Pasek and Paul's hit musical Dear Evan Hansen announced its West End transfer, speculation was rife about who would take on the eponymous role. That responsibility fell to graduate Sam Tutty, an avid fan of the show from its early days.

The pair both sit down with us for this two-hander interview back stage at the Noel Coward Theatre in London.The music used in this podcast is Acid Trumpet by Kevin McLeod, used under Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
