Meets the cast of You Are Here. The Southwark Playhouse. Wendi Peters. Jordan Frazier. Phil Adéle.

Also available as a 📺 YouTube video

We discuss Wendi’s work in Coronation Street and her 35 years on stage.

Jordan tells me about touring the world as a singer on a cruise ship, before moving to London and being cast in Six and the Bat Out of Hell.

Phil tells me about his YouTube channel and upcoming casting in the Lion King.

We also talk about the Southwark Playhouse and You Are Here’s two offie nominations, its director Matthew Rankcom, musical director Laura Bangay, designer Libby Todd, and producers The Gray Area Theatre Company.

You Are Here is the UK premiere of an intimate, hilarious and heart-breaking tour-de-force musical that will leave you cheering for the resilience of the human spirit.

July 20, 1969. On the night of the moon landing, Chicago housewife Diana (Wendi Peters) walks out of her comfortable suburban life for no real reason. She sees the astronauts taking that great step and is struck by the realisation that some people lead exciting lives. Suddenly alone in a fast-changing world, she finds a series of unexpected encounters can turn one small step into a giant, life-changing leap.

The show features Music & Lyrics by Neil Bartram and a Book by Brian Hill (Theory of Relativity, Story of my Life, Bedknobs and Broomsticks).

It also stars Rebecca McKinnis who was unavailable for this interview.

You Are Here is on at the Southwark Playhouse now until 12th June 2021.

Price: £27.50 | £22 concessions | All previews £16
Running Time: 90 mins
