If you like musicals The Worldstage Theatre podcast might be for you 🎶🎭🎥🩰 Each episode takes a look at a movie musical, covering different eras of cinema. Early release and bonus material available on Patreon patreon.com/worldstageth...

The Worldstage Theatre podcast is back 🎶’Welcome to the 60’s’🎶 as our first episode of the year takes a look at Hairspray. Spencer is back to discuss a stacked cast, deep themes and a killer soundtrack 📺🎶⚫️⚪️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My love of science-fiction and my love of musical theatre overlap in a very strange and interesting way with ‘Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds’. If you haven’t checked out this unique 70’s gem/ cult classic/ prog rock album its bizarre charm might win you over 🎻👽🎸

Musicals can often make me feel better, but no soundtrack can lift my spirits like Hairspray. ‘Ladies Choice’, ‘Run And Tell That’ or ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’ and I could easily go on. I wanted to give a shout out to ‘It Takes Two’ since it gets mostly cut from the movie 🎶 youtu.be/52EogbQSGIA?...

My first book of the year is another classic #sci-fi novel. If post-apocalyptic is not something you want to delve into right now, I understand. If you’re up for it - this is a wonderful example with an abundance of compelling ideas to ponder📚 I’ll need another read to absorb it all, I’m sure 🌎🕊️

Life might be getting back into more ordinary routines after the holidays, but I wanted to mention a show that has become part of the season, (for me the last) the last few years: All Creatures Great and Small (2020-) A cozy and comfy warm sweater of a show that also takes on serious topics 🐮🐶🐰🐷

2026

Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy rest of the year celebrating with friends and family ❄️🎁🎄❤️

@weatherkatie.bsky.social joins the podcast proper to take a look at a very personal pick, and the peak of the Disney Renaissance with 1994’s The Lion King 🦁 Ending the year with a roar. Stay tuned for more in 2026 open.spotify.com/show/6fOJFqo...

One of my favorite stories ever is ‘A Christmas Carol’. There are so many adaptations and variations that it’s possible to enjoy it many times over without repetition. What’s your favorite? 🎅🎄❄️🎁

The Lion King has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love it deeply ❤️ Very glad to have this little guy in my ‘theatre collection’ 🦁

Finally finished @lindsayellis.bsky.social Apostles of Mercy. The worldbuilding continues to be compelling, there is more action than book 2 and more to be mined from the themes introduced and questions posed here📚 Also: Aliens whose home planet is Earth is a pretty cool idea 👽

I have a sort if nostalgic soft spot for The Polar Express. Setting that aside, this song is still an absolute treasure 🎶🎄🎵🎅 youtu.be/zbB__PlKjPA?...

Raise your voice and make a joyful noise as @thenerdyblogger.bsky.social returns to the podcast as we movie into the 90’s to discuss Sister Act ⛪️ open.spotify.com/show/6fOJFqo...

For anyone interested in more Wicked: For Good thoughts, I had a fun chat about it with @theceethree.bsky.social on his podcast. There is also plenty of other nerdy topics to enjoy in the back catalog secretfriendsunite.com/sfu/548

Just a little reminder that Sister Act is a movie you can watch and enjoy any time you want ⛪️🎶 I really love this part in particular youtu.be/xtz-usSXaGg?...

To try and wrap up my thoughts on #HazbinHotel season 2 here is my tier list of all the songs from season 1 and 2 🎶 To be clear, none of these are bad songs, it’s just a question of which I love more. I did give each season one skip, but that’s only 2 out of 36 songs 😈

I had the time of my life chatting Dirty Dancing with @heatherraebarker.bsky.social Join us as this 80’s classic takes to the Worldstage 💃 🕺 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Yesterday was also the day I got to see Wicked - For Good in the cinema. Is Wicked one of my favorites, no. Is it a top tier musical, yes. The film does not disappoint. The visuals, music and performances are on the same level as part 1. The story has a different tone, yet is as engaging 🩷💚

Reaching finale of season 2 of #HazbinHotel I just wanted to thank @vivziepop.bsky.social and all the writers and animators, @samhaft.com and Andrew giving us some amazing music, and the entire cast of voice actors for knocking it out of the park. (Including @amirtalai.bsky.social) 😈🎶 Thank you all

If anyone wants a terribly underrated musical to listen to; may I suggest ‘Bonnie & Clyde’. There is also a pro-shot of a ‘concert staging’ in London available. Either way you get Jeremy Jordan singing 🎶

#HazbinHotel Live on Broadway gives you a look at why it matters to all the fans. The music, the cast and creatives and the community of majority hard-core theatre kids all pouring love into the world 🤩🥰 Thank you to everyone who made this happen, and shared it with the rest of us across the world❣️

So today I have this stuck in my head again… For, reasons 🎶🎥🎙️ youtu.be/2ssCL292DQA?...

‘The intermission’ is almost over🩷💚

It’s time to 🎶’Dance Magic Dance’ with David Bowie in the cult classic Labyrinth✨ Muppets and Henson fan Andrew Shearer joins the podcast for this 80’s fairytale quest podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Well, 4 episodes of #HazbinHotel season 2 are out. So much good stuff. Animation 🔥 Voice acting from everyone, amazing. Music, need I say more than Gravity? (As one example) Before the season I had one wish: for Alastor to speak French. So thank you @amirtalai.bsky.social for delivering 😁

Having finished ‘Truth of the Devine’ by @lindsayellis.bsky.social I still need to find a way to summarize my thoughts. There is both light and dark in the world, and also in this book 📚

So, #HazbinHotel season 2 is only a few days away. You can relive season one by joining the Worldstage Theatre Patreon where @weatherkatie.bsky.social and I go episode by episode. The finale is out now! 😈🎶🏨 patreon.com/worldstageth...

🎶Grease is the word🎶 as Norman Lao returns to talk about the phenomenon that is Grease. Singing, nostalgia and maybe even some themes in this very long episode 🎸⚡️ open.spotify.com/show/6fOJFqo...

Tis the season for all things spooky. What are people’s favorite musicals for the season?

Grab a friend and get ready to do The Time Warp 🎶 The podcast reaches the 1970’s with ‘the ultimate midnight movie’ in The Rocky Horror Picture Show podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Another book I have had sitting on my shelf for far too long is @lindsayellis.bsky.social Axiom’s End. Truly compelling and an inventive spin on the ‘first contact’ story 👽 Highly recommend, and I’ve got the sequel ready to go 📚

Aaaaaaaah. I can hardly wait for. #HazbinHotel season 2 youtu.be/jvb6b-9vq2U?...

I finally did it, I watched #KpopDemonHunters 👹Eye popping and toe tapping with both fun and heart. Yeah, I see why this blew up 💛

‘Life is a Cabaret’🎶 this week as Dom Nigro joins the podcast to discuss Bob Fosse’s 1972 movie adaptation of Cabaret. Mature themes will be brought up, so keep that in mind. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Hey nbd but here's a lil teaser trailer for that show that some of you know me from like😙😙ok😙bye🙌

Happy Star Trek Day 🖖 #StarTrek

I promised more photos from Westminster Abbey 😊 All that history in one place

Catching up on a Sci-fi classic. Dark and depressing is not my favorite mood, yet this was well written and interesting, so it carried me along 📚 ‘nolite te bastardes carborundorum’

Historian @holleysnaith.bsky.social joins the latest episode to discuss more Fred and Ginger and 1936’s Swing Time. Thank you Holley for sharing your historical insights into these two legends❣️ open.spotify.com/show/6fOJFqo...

The podcast takes a trip back to the 1930’s to spend some time with the King and Queen of silver screen dance: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and one of the most classic of all classics Top Hat 🎩 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

For my last show this trip: Sing Steet. A good show and a good time if you like jamming 80’s tunes 🎸 🎹 🎶

Today, a tour of the Royal Albert Hall 🎼

More British comedy 🎭 (From the top balcony). If you like that sort of thing, this was a funny night at the theatre 🤣

Today’s tourist destination: Westminster Abbey. More photos later

Mission accomplished. Tonight’s ‘observation’ of @mincemeatlive.bsky.social was a success. Thanks to everyone involved for a fun and even emotional night at the theatre 💛📒

After too long in my ‘to be read’ pile, I finally finished An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by @hankgreen.bsky.social. First, thank you. Second, I’m glad there is already a sequel, since the end of the book did not feel like the end of the story 📚
