84 - Carrie Hope Fletcher & Joel Montague: Elf The Musical, Christmas Cheer & Parenthood

It's time for the Christmas Special of The Final FronTia and we are joined by a West End theatre power couple (and, for this season, they're also elves!)... Carrie Hope Fletcher and Joel Montague!

Whilst originally gaining popularity on her YouTube channel, Carrie Hope Fletcher has a storied history in the West End. As a child, she made her West End debut as Young Éponine in Les Miserables, followed by roles in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins. As an adult, she has starred in the West End productions of Les Mis (Éponine and Thénardier), The Addams Family, Heathers: The Musical, Cinderella, Calamity Jane and she is currently starring as Jovie in Elf The Musical.

Starring as Buddy The Elf in Elf The Musical is Joel Montague, who is perhaps best known as the West End's King George III in Hamilton. This Summer, he also starred in The Great Gatsby and, previously, he has been in the West End productions of Waitress, School of Rock, Funny Girl, Urinetown and Billy Elliot.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia, Carrie and Joel talk about the magic of theatre during the holidays, juggling parenthood with showbiz and Carrie's experiences performing through pregnancy.

They also dive into dream roles, creative chaos, and there's a hilarious musical-themed game that’ll test your knowledge of rhymes, flags, and everything in between!

Merry Christmas and we'll see you next week for another fresh episode of The Final FronTia.
