How Very Hannah

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.Hope you love it… and don’t forget to FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re watching and/or listening!!📩 and email me your confessions & hotlines to: hello@howveryhannah.com 💌—🎟️ SeeDavid in Beautiful Little Fools at Southwark Playhouse – tickets via https://southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/productions/beautiful-little-fool/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23391641016&gbraid=0AAAAAosxaonhMUaLXhq2aOgiKX-AMJshv&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4eHLBhCzARIsAJ2NZoKeYUHkL6x6jk-dDwvhjr6c-LlW1xUsRc60UCH4hfwJYowr_KDAJxMaAkqqEALw_wcB🎤 Grab tickets for Lucie Jones Live at the London Palladium on 16th February – https://lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/lucie-jones-tlp/—🎟️ Come see Legally Blonde on tour!
