Dream role? Unlocked...💖 In this very special solo episode of How Very Hannah, I’m finally revealing my next job – and it’s a biggie. I’ve been keeping this secret for months but the time has come… I’m joining the UK & Ireland tour of Legally Blonde the Musical as Margot, and alternate Elle Woods (!!!). From manifesting moments in the Museum of Broadway, to self-taping “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” to crying outside my final audition - I’m spilling everything about the road to pink 🎀 I’m diving into the (slightly chaotic) audition journey, including kids accidentally watching my entire audition 👀  and talking what it means to me to be stepping into this world (hello, Thursday matinee Elle!!) 🤭 I’m so excited to take you behind the scenes of this next chapter. 🎟️ Come see Legally Blonde on tour!

All You Wanna Do... is hear about Katherine Howard, right?! 💅 Well you are in LUCK because I’m getting all the SIX West End scoop from none other than stagey icon and my friend Leesa Tulley!! Leesa’s just been announced as the new Katherine Howard in SIX in the West End (I KNOW), so we’re getting the inside story on her stage debut award, the diner dash of actual dreams (she left the Theatre Café mid-shift and was on stage an hour later), and what it’s like returning to a show you’ve lived, breathed and belted in for years – but this time as the full-time lead. We also get into the madness of Why Am I So Single?, press night nerves, award-season awkwardness, and what happens when confetti gets stuck in your you know where. Plus: the fly that toured with us. Yes, really. Hope you love it! — 🎟️ See Leesa in SIX from February on the West End! https://sixthemusical.com/london/ Follow Leesa!

West End besties on the pod alert !! This week I’m joined by actual West End royalty and on-stage power duo Lucie Jones & David Hunter... the iconic pairing from Waitress and the world premiere of 13 Going On 30 The Musical ! We get into all of it: how they first ended up opposite each other, what makes on-stage chemistry actually work, and why generosity is the secret sauce when you’re sharing the stage. They talk corpsing on stage and get nostalgic about the Waitress company being absolute MENACES for giggles - and I hear how you keep a show feeling fresh when you’re on performance number 247 of the week. Lucie takes us through the long road to playing Elphaba on Wicked, whilst David spills on an iconic Jason Donovan moment. We also talk cover life, first-day-of-rehearsals fear, the cursed “fun fact” circle, parasocial friendships, and the very real responsibility that comes with people watching everything you do online and on stage.

Week three of Legally Blonde rehearsals nearly finished me (🤪)… so let’s have a little debrief, shall we?! 💖 In this solo ep I’m giving you a full life update – how rehearsals are actually going, why week three is always chaos, and what it’s like setting the whole show! Plus, I’m answering YOUR questions - like my favourite numbers from the show, the joy and pain of learning choreography, and I get really honest about stage door, nerves and boundaries. We talk about cover life, why I’m not off-book for Elle yet (and why that’s normal!), feeling shy in week one rehearsals, and the pressure of proving I’m there for more than just TikTok. Plus: dog rehearsals with Bruiser (Sprout, the tiniest king), what happens when your acting has to make sense to a puppy, my skipping-rope trauma, and how it feels living in Leicester for seven weeks with a whole year of touring ahead… EEK! So much to discuss… Hope you love it! 💕 🎟️ andddd come see Legally Blonde on tour!! Book your tickets 👉🏼 https://legallyblondeshow.com/⁠— New episodes every Thursday at 7am!

You guys... this episode is giving TikTok trauma, Olivier-worthy genes, and deeply unqualified career advice - all with the *hilarious* and *unfiltered* ...Abi Clarke 🎭✨ Abi joins me to talk nepo baby status (yep - literal Olivier awards in the family), her not-so-secret theatre kid past, and how she accidentally ended up doing stand-up after realising she couldn't quite hack Les Mis. We unpack the chaos of the Edinburgh Fringe, look back on the time we both missed out on a TikTok award and tackle a listener dilemma about posting online and working with nightmare classmates.

From panto mishaps to Drag Race fame, this week’s ep is with iconic diva, Kitty Scott-Claus! ✨ We’re diving into what it really takes to serve on stage (and off) as Kitty shares stories from drama school days (including a rogue pole dancing module?), the wild reality of parasocial fame, and what it felt like playing Princess Diana in drag with the nation watching. There’s backstage gossip, dream role chat, and some hilarious Heather’s memories that made me SCREAM. We also answer a dilemma from a listener dating someone in the West End (and feeling a *bit* out of place), before diving into possibly the most chaotic improv game yet, which descended into screeches, fake monologues, and Kitty nearly combusting in the best way.

Aston spills all about life after the band, how 101 Dalmatians threw him in at the deep end (literally), and why being the funny one isn’t always as easy as it looks 🐟 We get into the real talk: balancing gigs with dad life, why phones in theatres are the enemy, and how he’s learned to let go and feel the moment on stage 🎭 And of course… chaos ensues in our reverse singing challenge, featuring a backwards rendition of “Everybody in Love” that you honestly need to hear to believe.

In this feel-good episode of *How Very Hannah*, I’m joined by stagey power couple, Stuart and Francis – the West End performers-turned-TikTok stars behind those iconic kitchen musicals 👨‍🍳🎶 They went viral for turning the chaos of parenting into full-blown musical numbers (complete with props, harmonies and tap breaks in the kitchen), and now they’re bringing that same magic to a *real-life* live show.

I Have a Dream, she’s about to take on The Devil Wears Prada, and she’s here to spill the stagey tea… it’s the one and only Stevie Doc! ✨ Brand-new West End leading lady, Stevie Doc’s stepping into her next huge role as Andy Sachs at the Dominion Theatre. We chat about her whirlwind journey from drama school to reality TV and what it was really like competing on screen. We chat about the awkwardness of being recognised in public, the realities of stage door life, and the not-so-glamorous side of keeping your voice healthy (spoiler: it involves broccoli and cruciferous veg). We also talk about drama school name changes, imposter syndrome, and learning to own your success - whether it’s from talent, TV, or sheer hard work. And of course, we round things off in true HVH fashion with a Mamma Mia superfan quiz that gets surprisingly intense… 🎟️ Go see Stevie shine as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada at the Dominion Theatre – opening tonight! https://thedevilwearspradamusical.com And you can come and see me on tour… only 2 dates left (Brighton and Manchester) !! 🎟️ HVH TOUR TICKETS: https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/how-very-hannah/ 🧢 SHOP MERCH: [https://howveryhannah.myshopify.com](https://howveryhannah.myshopify.com/) 📚 BUY MY BOOK: https://lnk.to/LesQuiz SOCIALS 🔗 TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@howvery_hannah 🔗 IG – https://www.instagram.com/howvery_hannah Produced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️ Music by Joe Truscott 🎵 Hosted on Acast.

It’s Halloween week, and the theatre ghosts are officially OUT… but Lizzie Bea’s not afraid!!! 👻🎃 In this spookily stagey ep, West End icon and all-round lovely gal Lizzie joins me (with her gorgeous dog, Dolly). You might know her from Hairspray, Sister Act or Heathers. We’re talking tour life chaos, the highs and lows of leading a company, and the very real experience of performance anxiety (yes, even for the pros). Lizzie also shares the wildest backstage ghost story I’ve ever heard… safe to say, I won’t be switching off my dressing room light again. We also get into the power of representation on stage, and what it’s meant to Lizzie to step into leading roles as a plus-size performer - and why visibility, confidence, and feeling “enough” really matters. Plus, this week’s confession has got us all TERRIFIED 👀 because what do you do when you criticised a cast member but turns out… your mic wasn’t turned off (gulp 🫠🫣)?!
