Edward Seckerson Meets... Jordan Luke Gage

Edward Seckerson Meets... Jordan Luke Gage

Author: Musicals Magazine December 18, 2024 Duration: 34:37

For this Musicals Magazine Podcast, Edward Seckerson talks to Jordan Luke Gage, currently starring in Titanique in the West End.

In a pretty meteoric rise since leaving drama school, Gage has been raising a little hell with characters as diverse as Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde, JD in Heathers and Marilyn in Taboo. He's currently aboard HMS Titanic in a show whose French title quickly establishes that this is not the Maury Yeston version. During technical week he talks to Edward Seckerson about all this and more – not least how he and his Titanique co-star Rob Houchen have both now honed their Italian as Fabrizio in Adam Guettel's The Light in the Piazza.

Titanique is currently docked at the Criterion Theatre, London – for information and tickets, visit https://london.titaniquemusical.com/

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.
