In this episode, we're joined by Jordan Luke Gage to talk about one of our favourite new musicals of the year, Redcliffe.
Known for his incredible work on stage, Jordan has now turned his hand to writing, composing and lyric-writing, creating a show that feels both deeply personal and remarkably assured. After seeing Redcliffe, we had to sit down and chat about the journey behind it.
We discuss making the leap from performer to creator, the challenge of writing the book, music and lyrics yourself, and why telling a passionate, tragic and authentic queer love story was so important to him. Jordan also shares the inspirations behind the show, the realities of developing new musicals today, and what he's learned from years of performing in some of the industry's biggest productions.
Warm, funny and full of heart, this is a conversation with an artist entering an exciting new chapter - and one we can't wait to see more of.
