We don't know why there are so many musicals about labour rights and industrial action, but at Stage Appropriate we are here for it. We're also here for outstanding new musical theatre performed by super-talented young casts in intimate theatres, so spoiler alert: we loved this one.

If you've ever wondered how long a child can hiccup for, this episode will finally answer your burning question. Also featuring extensive discussion of what "Cornelius" means, as well as much-deserved shout-out for 'The Four Chord Song.'

Problematic plots Vs spectacular stagecraft: which will reign supreme as we discuss a show we've waited so long to see that by the time this is posted, they'd already announced it's closing? Added fun comes from Essex accent analysis, tales of the fun police and some cutting edge political debate from 11 year olds.

Has any show ever necessitated quite so much discussion of pelvic thrusting? Probably not. But, aside from that, we talk about a fun night at a classic show, as well as for some reason arguing about omelettes.

We went to Edinburgh Fringe for the first time! We saw ten shows in 48 hours! We had a depressing pizza experience! It’s an emotional rollercoaster as we relive our Fringe trip, featuring court battles, wild age ratings and emus.

Is this show appropriate? No. But we’re a bit beyond that now, so off we went to the cinema to a screening of Sara Bareilles starring in the show for which she wrote the music. We also discuss another inappropriate modern classic and a Sondheim show that we won’t be rushing to see again.

This might seem like a weird combination of shows and that is an accurate and perceptive reflection. We laughed till we cried at one show and then cried until we couldn’t remember a time before we started crying at the other. Which is which? Listen to find out! Plus bonus content as we discuss Juno’s West End debut with PQA.

Another visit to Leeds Playhouse brings our first encounter with My Fair Lady (regardless of baseless claims that Katy has definitely seen the film). Expect rants about accentism and man-babies, as well as an exciting guest appearance from an often-mentioned but previously unheard visitor.
