BWW caught up with Sarah McGuiness about bringing Sarah McGuiness Sings Cabaret to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How did you first get started in the world of cabaret?. The show is not just what it says in the name – it’s a great deal more! It’s really the cabaret of my life story. But I’ve always loved cabaret as an art form, from ever since I can remember. In its purest form, it is the most challenging, amusing, boundary-bending, society-challenging form of entertainment of them all. This is what I try to reflect with my story.

1 Disney Announces THE GREATEST SHOWMAN Musical; West End FROZEN Coming to Disney+. Sometimes a reviewer has to go full gonzo and leave behind the objective stance to strike out in search of how a play has spoken to them personally. Very early in the Arcola Theatre’s studio space, I realised that I would need the first person pronoun and I’d need plenty of them.

BWW caught up with Meg Chizek about bringing How to Give Up on Your Dreams to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How did you first get started in the world of comedy?. After graduating with a BFA in dance, I moved to New York, where people told me I was funny and should try this thing called improv, so I signed up for a UCB class and . . . Hated it. After what I thought would be my big break as a dancer, I felt empty and creatively unfulfilled, so I made the unhinged decision to sign up for a stand up class . . . And loved it! But the class ended in March 2020, so my comedy journey was put on pause for a couple of years until I found the incredible ladies of the LaughtHER Collective, an all female comedy school. Christi Somers and Hope D (the founders) were such an inspiration and so supportive in helping me find my comedic voice.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
