Musicals Magazine

25 May 2023

Musicals is the new magazine celebrating the world of Musical Theatre, from the West End to Broadway and beyond. In our third issue, June/July, we interview hugely popular actress, author and vlogger Carrie Hope Fletcher who explains why, despite being such a successful Musical Theatre performer since the age of seven, it is only now – in her 30th year – that she has felt the confidence to be herself onstage and set out on a solo tour for the very first time. With tap-tastic musicals Crazy For You and 42nd Street both heading to London, we investigate why the dance form remains so popular and what is involved in bringing those adrenalin-filled production numbers we know and love to life. David Jays has been chatting to performers and creatives. Titanic The Musical has set sail on a 10th-anniversary UK tour with producer Danielle Tarento and director Thom Southerlandcollaborating once again with legendary US composer Maury Yeston. Matt Wolf asks all three why the musical still captures audience’s imaginations. How accessible is Musical Theatre today, both for performers and audiences? With multiple performance options on offer, from captioned to relaxed to audio-described, as well as an increasing number of companies comprising Deaf and/or disabled performers, we investigate the progress being made in terms of inclusivity and learn what still needs to be done. Welcome back Elaine Paige! The Musical Theatre star returns to our pages with her regular column celebrating the musicals that proved to be the biggest game-changers.
