It’s that rarest of theatrical trips where Katy feels like a very responsible parent: welcome to our episode on the very silly and very funny Stranger Things parody musical, Stranger Sings! Featuring ballet-dancing demagorgons, Muppet crossovers and wig reviews. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

Another episode on a show we saw months ago: this time, it’s the Take That jukebox musical, Greatest Days. And if you enjoy Juno being an absolute lunatic, then this really is your greatest day; you can look forward to giant African land snails, Gary Barlow’s eyebrows, and what Mr Poppy did after leaving St Bernadette’s. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

In this mini-episode we talk about an absolute treat of a show and our first of 2024: the soon-to-be-transferring-to-the West-End hit starring Sam Tutty and Dujonna Gift. You can expect to hear Katy proving that at least one of the songs is a total earworm as well as some groundbreaking pancake innovations from a very sleepy Juno. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

It’s a throwback episode; we saw this show ages ago so listening to it might make you feel like you’ve time travelled. Why else would anyone be talking about Strictly? Other random references in this episode include Polly Pockets, an unfortunate parachute incident and the big question of whether Katy is too vengeful for musical theatre. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

It’s the show everyone’s talking about (or at least it was when it was still on) and it was announced that it’s transferring to Broadway the day after we went! Coincidence? Or destiny? You decide. In amongst some very intellectual debate about this crazy show, expect to hear pizza-related shout-outs, top University Challenge tips and the highly logical practice of choosing a favourite musical theatre performer based on the football team they support. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

Some Stock Aitken and Waterman inspired silliness as this brand new show visits Leeds. Expect talk of inflatable flamingoes, 6 year olds with mobile phones and Revel preferences. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

Let’s all pretend that we’ve strategically saved this episode about a show we saw in July until now because we always wanted to post it on actual Groundhog Day. Join us as we relive one of our favourite shows of 2023, with fangirling, philosophy and facts about groundhogs aplenty. Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver? Kind of both, but not quite either. CW: this episode includes brief discussion of representations of suicide. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

In this episode you’ll hear the consequences of Juno being cajoled into recording while she’s half-asleep or possibly comatose from too much Christmas chocolate. Aside from discussion of this lovely show at the Cruc!ble in Sheff!eld, expect to hear debate about what constitutes Christmas food, giant snails and a bitter tirade against teddy pickers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

Even more love for our favourite theatre, Leeds Playhouse, on this episode, along with plenty of singing (not during the performance though, obviously). Join us as we talk toxic relationships, swooshy skirts and audience behaviour fails. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more

Here’s the second part of our 2023 awards, including the best shows in London and on tour, as well as well-deserved recognition for a bright young star; you’ll never guess who. And if you thought there was too much Rock, Paper, Scissors in Part 1, prepare to be even more frustrated with our method of making democratic decisions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stageappropriate/message ..read more
