THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH

If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask. Our penultimate guest this season is Sam WilmottNow unless you are an Instagram carpentry fan then you may not know who Sam is but you’ll very likely have seen some of his work as he has appeared in many West End shows including War Horse, Oliver, Wicked, Stomp and Lord of the Rings the musical and films like Nowhere Boy and the Harry Potter movie seriesHe gave up on his varied acting career of nearly 25 years to pursue his passion for carpentry and now has way over a quarter of a million followers on his Instagram under the username @monkeyboysworkshop.

He is a multi award winning and hugely influential hero to many musical actors – ourselves included – and has graced stage and screen for nearly 5 decades. During this time he has won Mo Awards, Helpmann Awards, three Olivier Awards and was appointed Member of the Order of Australia in 2022 for significant services to the arts. Most musical fans first heard of him when he played Javert in the 10th Anniversary concert and ever since then, seeing his name on a cast list is enough to make any theatre fan go weak at the knees!Links:Wikihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_QuastGuardian interviewhttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/aug/10/cost-of-living-sydney-theatre-company-philip-quast-interviewJavert at the 10thhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urxk4mveLCwSunday in the Park with George documentary 1990https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av4M2Gzy4W0Pretty Women with Bryn terfelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJjQo_YbFsETomorrow and Tomorrow speech analysis with McKellen and Nunnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGbZCgHQ9m8Hosted by John Owen-Jones and Alistair BrammerMusic written by John Owen-Jones and Alistair BrammerMusic performed by John Owen-Jones, Alistair Brammer and John QuirkRecorded & edited by John Owen-Jones and Alistair BrammerA 2024 John Owen-Jones Associates Productionwww.johnowenjones.com/podcast
