Jordan Cambridge-Taylor and Olivia O’Connor - Series 4 Episode 5

Welcome to Represent, the queer musical theatre podcast. My name is Dr. James Lovelock, and I'm an academic and a huge musical theatre fan exploring the representation of all things queer in the musical theatre industry.

My guests today are the amazing Jordan Cambridge-Taylor and the fabulous Olivia O'Connor from the recent production of Why Am I So Single at the Garrick Theatre. We discuss the casting process for the show, find out what made the rehearsal room so welcoming, and explore why this show means so much to its audiences. We also look at non-binary and plus-size representation in musical theatre, as well as finding out about what the Pineapple Studios' Lost Property box contains for emergency audition situations.
