  • Episode 33 Tiers of a Clown!
    2020/12/21

    It's our Christmas Show!  And the official end of Season 1.

    No show reviews this time but a discussion about how we can restart our lives after the Pandemic and how our beloved Musical Theatre comes back to us. 

    Richard shares some of his Christmas activities and Cliff recalls a cinema visit a lifetime ago. Plus we chat about what to look forward to over the Christmas period.

    Season 2 will start as soon as we can see a sign that Theatre can get up and running again. When that will be is anyone's guess but let's hope for early Spring.

    From us all at StageDoorCast have a very happy and restful holiday break. 

    Please stay safe. Why not spend some time listening to our back catalogue?  It will keep you out of mischief!

    Please tell your friends about us and leave a review on Apple podcasts, it would help us greatly grow the show.

    Ideas and comments always happily received at  mail@stagedoorcast.co.uk

  • Episode 32 The Streaming Sessions
    2020/11/16

    We're half way through "Lockdown Two The Sequel", so we turn our attention to what is available as streamed content and review three recent offerings and we have suggestions for more. We think about the possibilities that may come if an effective vaccine is available and look forward to a time when real theatre is available to us all again. Cliff is brave enough to mention the C word as our next show will be early in December and we talk about the sad loss of Bobby Ball and Des O Conner who both graced the Traditional Panto stage in the past.

  • Episode 31 One Tier or Two?
    2020/10/24

    Richard and Cliff are thinking about tiers this week and talking about allocation of much needed funds to artistic organisations. They look back at the long life of Herbert Kretzmer acclaimed songwriter, and best known perhaps as the lyricist for Les Miserables although his artistic output is far greater than simply that, and discuss the exciting news about the Les Mis Concert being staged in London over the Christmas period, although sadly even at the time of recording tickets are sold out. 

    There is news of a new appointment, and Richard reviews live streams from the Crazy Coqs. We also preview a couple of forthcoming shows there which you can also book as live streams. 

    As always please send news and views to us:
