🎙️ The Final Stage 8 Podcast of the Year 🎭

We’re closing the curtain on an unforgettable year at Stage 8 ✨

In our final podcast episode of the year, we’re taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate everything that’s made this year so special — the shows, the challenges, the wins, the lessons, and the people who make Stage 8 what it is.

From behind-the-scenes stories and standout moments to looking ahead at what’s next, this episode is all about gratitude, growth, and finishing the year feeling proud (and a little emotional).

Thank you for listening, supporting, and being part of the Stage 8 family.

Here’s to a brilliant year gone — and an even bigger one to come. 🥂✨

This week on The Stage 8 Podcast, chaos reigns in the most festive way possible! We’re talking all things Elf the Musical, from the glittering Sparklejollylaunchyparty to the arrival of our long-awaited scenic cloths (finally!). Plus, we catch up about our holiday to Turkey, where sunshine, cats, and some iffy Turkish delight combine in equal measure.

It’s a merry mix of mayhem, musicals, and mischievous felines — basically, business as usual for Stage 8. 🎅🐱🎭

This week, we’re coming to you live (ish) from holiday mode!

We chat all about the hilarious chaos of getting our scenic cloths printed abroad — from lost translations to why Jay finds our contacts name so funny.

We’ll be sunning ourselves on holiday while this airs so please sit back, grab a cocktail and enjoy our ridiculous quick-fire games that had us in stitches.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ LOTS OF CHRISTMAS TALK!! 🎅🏻

It’s unfiltered, it’s funny, and it’s very Stage 8.

This week we’re joined by the fabulous Jodie, who brings everyone’s favourite Christmas cynic-turned-romantic Jovie to life in Elf The Musical! 💫

We chat about what it’s like stepping into such an iconic role, how rehearsals are going, and why Elf is the perfect dose of festive magic we all need this year. Expect laughs, behind-the-scenes gossip, and maybe even a sprinkle of Christmas spirit (Buddy would be proud). 🎄✨

Tune in for an episode full of festive fun, friendship, and a little sparkle from the Stage 8 family!

🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts!

In this episode, we’re joined by our marketing genius Rhys for a deep dive into all things marketing, going viral, and the chaos that comes with it! 💥

We chat about the secrets behind Stage 8’s marketing strategies, the ups and downs of chasing viral moments, and that time our biggest video got taken down — leaving Jay utterly heartbroken 💔 (don’t worry, he’s recovered… mostly).

It’s a hilarious, honest, and surprisingly insightful look behind the curtain at what it really takes to make a show (and a post!) blow up online.

🎧 Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a few marketing confessions we maybe shouldn’t have shared!
