Edward Seckerson Meets... Jack Godfrey

Author: Musicals Magazine May 31, 2024 Duration: 50:33

For this Musicals Magazine Podcast, Edward Seckerson meets Jack Godfrey, one of the brightest and most engaging talents in the exciting renaissance of new writing, enlivening the West End and beyond. With 42 Balloons – for which he wrote book, music and lyrics – fresh from its inaugural production at the Lowry Manchester and Babies opening at The Other Palace, Godfrey's insidiously memorable hooks are ear-worming their way into all Musical Theatre enthusiasts' consciousness. Godfrey writes pop songs with heart, soul, and zing. Can anyone wait for what comes next? 


Curtain up on a conversation that goes beyond the footlights. The Musicals Magazine Podcast pulls back the velvet rope, offering a backstage pass to the vibrant and demanding world of musical theatre. This isn't just a series of interviews; it's a series of conversations that dig into the craft, the late-night rehearsals, and the sheer passion that fuels performers and creators. Each episode connects you directly with the artists themselves-those celebrated stars from Broadway, the West End, and major stages worldwide, who share stories you simply won't hear anywhere else. We get into the texture of their careers, the roles that challenged them, and the moments that made them fall in love with theatre in the first place. Produced by the team behind Musicals Magazine, this podcast extends the publication's celebration of the art form into an intimate, audio format. You'll hear the voices behind the headlines, discussing everything from technical vocal challenges to the emotional weight of carrying a show. It’s for anyone who has ever left a theatre humming a tune and wondering about the people who made that magic happen. Tune in for genuine, unrehearsed glimpses into a life dedicated to song, dance, and storytelling on the grandest scale.
