Inevitably, we saw the summer's biggest show in the West End: Jamie Lloyd's Evita. It was... a whole thing, involving the world's tallest man, baffled customers at the Angus Steak House and, for some reason, a Harry Potter tangent. And probably loads of Oliviers. Not for us.

This summer, we made our second trip to Edinburgh for the craziness of the Fringe and it was EPIC. You'll hear all about it in this episode, featuring Shakespeare, netball, aerobics, acapella, velociraptors and Jaffa Cakes, as well as a insight into Juno's complex life plans despite being only 12. Roll on Fringe 2026!

Don't worry; despite Juno's confusing into to this episode, this is still the same silly theatre podcast. In this episode, we're talking about a charming childhood favourite (including dogs) and a classic musical with metaphors that are either very profound or confusing, depending on which one of us you agree with. Let us know if you've seen either of these shows!

In a change to our usual programming, we're talking about a play today, with bonus lecturing on the history of football from Katy; who wouldn't want to listen to that?

We're back after a long delay, because Katy has been too busy sewing Juno's Musical Con outfit to edit anything.

Thanks to Ava Max, we know that in chess, a king can move one space at a time, but queens are free to go wherever they like. Thanks, Ava Max. In 'Chess,' the actual musical, however, things are a bit more complicated, especially when there's crazy David Bowie make-up and disturbing whooping men involved, as you'll hear in this episode.

We present you with lots of corn-y jokes (haha), Juno repeatedly listing the whole principal cast of The Great Gatsby in London and Katy, quite shamefully, calling Georgina Onuorah "Georgia." Why? I don't know. Also featuring: pigeons, performative ovations and stage door stampedes.

What self-respecting 12 year old doesn't beg to see two weird Sondheim shows in two days, especially ones with hardly any songs/baffling amphibian themes? We talk celebrity casting, long notes and nervous dogs in this highly cerebral episode.

In this episode we discuss something fun, something dramatic and something horrible: can you guess which is which? In amongst the serious musical theatre business and continued Jeremy Jordan content, we pitch our plans for 'Charlie and Lola: The True Crime Musical,' yawn a frankly ridiculous amount and engage in some friendly accent critique.
