MusicalTalk - The UK's Independent Musical Theatre Podcast

Time again to join Mike, Alison and Thos as they enjoy a bit of in-depth analysis of some of the wonderful new musicals you could have seen at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2026.  In this week's Fringe round-up episode, they look at Girlhood in the Bathroom and Apparently Ugly: A Stepsister's Story.  Do we live in a world of Cinderella-style happy endings and Prince Charmings, or is there more going on?  Find out in this thoughtful conversation - and for good measure hear the world's most formal pick up line.

Fancy some reviews of some of the best or most interesting shows at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe? Yes! You do? Well, you've come to the right place as MusicalTalk continues its celebrated coverage of the Fringe's musical theatre offerings. This week, Thos joins Mike and Alison to discuss three eye catching new musicals - A Perfect Match, Mother Earth and the Shocking Truth About Flat Earth.  Add insights, laughter and a song as well and you'll find it's an elemental pleasure!

EdFringe 2026 is in full swing so why not join Thos as he sits down with the talented Tom Rolfe, the man responsible for returning Fringe Favourite, The Detective's Demise, as well as three other musicals at this year's festival - Milly's Musical Adventure, Charming! The Musical and Escape Room: The Musical.  That's a lot of musicals packed into one episode!

It's time to join MusicalTalk at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 for another episode featuring some of the best and most interesting musical theatre offerings to be found at the world's largest and greatest arts festival. This week, Thos sits down with Jake Brasch and Nadja Leonhard-Hooper, the creative force behind the hilarious Hole!, a musical so large in scope it is literally (and we mean literally) out of this world! Let the Great Sucking commence!

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 is here! Hoorah! It's the biggest arts festival in the world and MusicalTalk is there - as always - to see what's on offer for the lover of musical theatre (that's you!) and to provide extensive in-depth coverage of the best shows. This week, we look at the revival of War of the Worlds (On a Budget), the multi-star winning hit musical giving a unique, hilarious and brilliantly song-filled take on HG Wells' famous story.  Cue the cute martians....!
