• Georgina Castle & Josh St. Clair: 50 First Dates, Stagey Kisses and Developing a New Show 🎭

  A world-exclusive West End musical, a first kiss in front of a live audience, and more behind-the-scenes chaos than you can shake a script at.This episode of How Very Hannah is a stagey treat, as I’m joined by Georgina Castle and Josh St. Clair - lead co-stars of 50 First Dates The Musical… our first on-stage couple!! We’re diving deep into the madness of developing, not only a brand-new show, but one that was originally a cult rom-com. We also talk navigating intimacy onstage with a co-star, and hear how it really works when you’re the original very-first-ever cast.🎟️ 50 First Dates: The Musical is playing exclusively at The Other Palace – get your tickets before it closes on November 15th!! https://theotherpalace.co.uk/50-first-dates-the-musical/ 📩 Email me at [email protected] 💌🎟️ TWO DATES LEFT TO SEE ME ON TOUR!!!

• Lizzie Bea: Hairspray, Heathers and Haunted Theatres! 👻

  It’s Halloween week, and the theatre ghosts are officially OUT… but Lizzie Bea’s not afraid!!! 👻🎃In this spookily stagey ep, West End icon and all-round lovely gal Lizzie joins me (with her gorgeous dog, Dolly). You might know her from Hairspray, Sister Act or Heathers.We’re talking tour life chaos, the highs and lows of leading a company, and the very real experience of performance anxiety (yes, even for the pros). Lizzie also shares the wildest backstage ghost story I’ve ever heard… safe to say, I won’t be switching off my dressing room light again.We also get into the power of representation on stage, and what it’s meant to Lizzie to step into leading roles as a plus-size performer - and why visibility, confidence, and feeling “enough” really matters.Plus, this week’s confession has got us all TERRIFIED 👀 because what do you do when you criticised a cast member but turns out… your mic wasn’t turned off (gulp 🫠🫣)?!Got a confession or dilemma of your own?
