Showtune on Radio Abbey

31/10/2025

This week's show is now online, it's the 2nd part of a 2 parter. Good for those obscure facts that make you a valued member of a quiz team - also some great music.

A wide playlist of songs from stage and screen musicals. This week focusing on people who won the EGOT (part 2)

The Tree House Bookshop sponsors my show and is indeed, well worth browsing!

We have a mention in the latest edition of Country Living, thanks to the wonderful local florist . Thanks to Carrie for the photo - I will go and get my own copy! Lovely when one local business supports another. If you don't follow the amazing LilyLoves, go do it...her work is stunning. Congratulations to her on being featured in the magazine!

The staged concert of The Book Thief this afternoon. Beautifully done, deeply affecting and made you think.

When I was thinking about last week's 200th show I did a lot of research on various subjects to try and come up with a good idea for a theme. They were ultimately abandoned, but why waste a good bit of research?
I've put some of it to good use this week - well, hopefully good use, you decide!

I want to start some conversation on this group. Tell me about the shows that you love, what got you into musicals, anything Musical Theatre related.

Fot the 200th show I departed a little from the usual format and answered some questions that friends set me.

I'd love to hear what other people's answers would be. One of them was: If there was to be a musical of your life, who would write it, who would direct, and who would star? I had a good laugh during the show as various people texted in saying who would get to play them in this musical. (some very daft suggestions, some more sensible)

The 200th show, slightly different format still fabulous show tunes

This week's show is now uploaded. I wanted to do something a bit different for the 200th show so my friends sent me some questions, which I basically cheated at the answers to. It's longer today but it involves a lot of Music. Some fantastic showtunes.

I'd be interested to hear your answers to the 2nd and 3rd questions, or any really!
