THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH

By: JOHN OWEN-JONES & ALISTAIR BRAMMER
  • Summary

  • "Imagine there is a huge asteroid hurtling towards our beautiful blue planet and before life as we know it comes to end, we can magically click our fingers so you are able to see any theatrical production you want. What would you choose to see for your Last Show on Earth?"


    West End and Broadway stars John Owen-Jones and Alistair Brammer ask this question of friends and colleagues from the West End, Broadway and beyond - and the answers are often intriguing, usually funny and sometimes bizarre...

    Welcome back to a brand new season of The Last Show on Earth!!


    If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.


    Our guest this time is Kerry Ellis


    Kerry has had a very successful award winning career in musical theatre with leading roles in West End shows My Fair Lady, Oliver!, Cats, Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, Chess, The War of the Worlds, Rent, and more. She was the first British actress to play the role of Elphaba in Wicked and created the role of Meat in the original London cast of We Will Rock You where she first met legendary Queen guitarist Brian May - with whom she has collaborated many times. She is also a published author and has released four solo albums with a 5th scheduled for realease in 2025.

    Welcome to another episode of The Last Show on Earth!


    If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.


    Our guest this time around is award winning playwright and director Terry Johnson.


    Terry began his theatre career as an actor before becoming a dramatist and a director and has written many very successful plays including Hysteria, Insignificance, Unsuitable for Adults, Hitchcock Blonde, Prism and Dead Funny and has directed shows such as One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Death of a Salesman, Oh What A Lovely War and Uncle Vanya. He has also worked in television and film and has won numerous awards for his work including Evening Standard Awards, Critic’s Circle Awards, several Oliviers and he even bagged a Tony for Best Director in 2010 for La Cage Aux Folles!


    His Last Show choice is unexpected and truly epic...

    Welcome back to a brand new season of The Last Show on Earth!!


    If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.


    Our guests for our first episode this season are theatre power couple Michael Jibson and Caroline Sheen.

    Posh and Becks. Will and Kate. Brangelina. Bennifer. And now Jibson and Sheen (Jibsheen?)

    Their combined acting credits are too extensive to list here so you may want to look at their Wikipedia pages (links below) but in a nutshell they are both award winners, have done loads of theatre, TV and film and are married with one daughter.


    In a first for this podcast we have two guests on one episode...Double the fun!


    Enjoy the last shows (plural) of Mike Jibson and Caroline Sheen
