How Very Hannah

West End besties on the pod alert !!

This week I’m joined by actual West End royalty and on-stage power duo Lucie Jones & David Hunter... the iconic pairing from Waitress and the world premiere of 13 Going On 30 The Musical !

We get into all of it: how they first ended up opposite each other, what makes on-stage chemistry actually work, and why generosity is the secret sauce when you’re sharing the stage.

They talk corpsing on stage and get nostalgic about the Waitress company being absolute MENACES for giggles - and I hear how you keep a show feeling fresh when you’re on performance number 247 of the week.

Lucie takes us through the long road to playing Elphaba on Wicked, whilst David spills on an iconic Jason Donovan moment.

We also talk cover life, first-day-of-rehearsals fear, the cursed “fun fact” circle, parasocial friendships, and the very real responsibility that comes with people watching everything you do online and on stage.

Hope you love it… and don’t forget to FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re watching and/or listening!!

All You Wanna Do... is hear about Katherine Howard, right?! 💅

Well you are in LUCK because I’m getting all the SIX West End scoop from none other than stagey icon and my friend Leesa Tulley!!

Leesa’s just been announced as the new Katherine Howard in SIX in the West End (I KNOW), so we’re getting the inside story on her stage debut award, the diner dash of actual dreams (she left the Theatre Café mid-shift and was on stage an hour later), and what it’s like returning to a show you’ve lived, breathed and belted in for years – but this time as the full-time lead.

We also get into the madness of Why Am I So Single?, press night nerves, award-season awkwardness, and what happens when confetti gets stuck in your you know where. Plus: the fly that toured with us. Yes, really.

Hope you love it!

We’re so backkk! It’s my first guest ep of 2026 – and I’ve dragged the icon, the legend, the gleek supreme that is MAX BALEGDE into the How Very Hannah hot seat! 💅✨

Max is one of the funniest people on the internet (no, I won’t be taking questions at this time), and today he’s bringing pure chaotic energy as we dive into his childhood dreams, some not so pretty tour bus tales, a very niche Glee awakening… and yes, a bogey confession that will haunt me (and maybe you?!) forever 🫣 😂

We chat:

Being a Gleek (and being personally wronged by Amber Riley)

Going feral on tour… complete with a toilet story from hell

A panto success story for the ages

What really happens in the jungle on I’m a Celeb Australia 👀

And a booger story that’ll make you squirm with cringe

New year, same unhinged chaos. You’re welcome… 🤭✨

Dream role? Unlocked...💖

In this very special solo episode of How Very Hannah, I’m finally revealing my next job – and it’s a biggie.
I’ve been keeping this secret for months but the time has come… I’m joining the UK & Ireland tour of Legally Blonde the Musical as Margot, and alternate Elle Woods (!!!).

From manifesting moments in the Museum of Broadway, to self-taping “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” to crying outside my final audition - I’m spilling everything about the road to pink 🎀
I’m diving into the (slightly chaotic) audition journey, including kids accidentally watching my entire audition 👀  and talking what it means to me to be stepping into this world (hello, Thursday matinee Elle!!) 🤭

I’m so excited to take you behind the scenes of this next chapter.

Hannah the Elf, what’s your favourite Christmas song?!

It’s the final How Very Hannah episode of the year - and we’re going out in festive style 🎄

In this solo Christmas special, I’m reflecting on a big year of podcasting (from launching How Very Hannah to 29 episodes!?) and I’m getting well and truly in the festive spirit. Expect sleigh bells, chaotic costumes, festive phone-ins with friends, and school play flashbacks that might make you cry (with laughter).

From being a fairy in A Special Kind of Present to a rumoured voice transplant in Year 6 (true story), this ep is packed full of hilarious throwbacks, seasonal confessions, and heartfelt reflections.

There’s a listener dilemma about last-minute gift panic, a few surprise calls (yes, even from Santa), and a look back at all the wild, warm, and wonderful moments from Season 2/forever!!

Don’t forget to FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re watching and/or listening this christmas 🤭

✨ And we’ll be back SO SOON in 2026!!! In the meantime, I’d love for you to go back and watch (or rewatch) any eps you’ve missed and let me know which you picked ✨
