The Theatre Thoughts Podcast began in November 2021 as an accompaniment to the Theatre Thoughts Australia website. Our past guests include the likes of Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Leanne Cope (An American in Paris), Vidya Makan & Kala Gare (SIX the Musical), Yve Blake (Fangirls), Blake Appelqvist (& Juliet, Fangirls) and comedy duo Mel and Sam (Sh*t Wrecked, Not Hat, Not Play The Cabaret, High Pony). The purpose of the Theatre Thoughts Podcast is to bring conversations with the artists and creatives in all facets of the theatre industry to the ears of our listeners. We focus on, and promote, those who are changing the landscape of theatre, and cutting out a slice of the theatre scene to share their story.
