Frankie Bridge on 2:22 A Ghost Story, plus La Cage aux Folles and Word-Play reviews The Standard Theatre Podcast

    • Arts

Frankie Bridge joins us to talk about her acting debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story, which is now on at the Apollo Theatre. Frankie tells us about her character, Lauren, and why it’s nice for her not to feel compared to Cheryl and Lily Allen - who played Jenny. She also tells us the future of her old band The Saturdays, why she thought she might end up advertising Cheestrings, and what her footballing husband Wayne Bridge said to her after her first performance.
Despite press night being rained off, we discuss the musical La Cage aux Folles, now on at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre.
This is directed by Artistic Director Tim Sheader, with a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. You can also read our review here.
We also review Word-Play at the Royal Court by Rabiah Hussain, directed by Nimmo Ismail: do words have cumulative power?
Plus, we take a look at what’s happened in theatre this week, the theatre that's become home to brutal mosquitoes, and the new exhibition hosting theatre cartoons in London.
