It’s an Emsolation first, Em’s long term friend and fellow comedian, Joel Creasey, has finally been invited on the pod. The occasion? The upcoming Wicked movie premiere in Sydney, where they’ll both be seeing the film AND interviewing the stars as part of the Australian press tour. If you’re a regular of the pod, you’ll already know of Em’s deep love for the Wicked musical, Joel shares that love, in fact, he’s pretty sure he’s seen the musical around 300 times. Together we’ll get an update on Joel’s recent proposal from his partner Jack, then it’s on to the business of all things Wicked. Prepare yourself for a deep dive into everything they’ve hyper focussed over, from when Joel first saw Wicked and the impact it had on him, to the behind the scenes goss from the cast and crew. Joel even tries to prove his love of Elphaba in a game with Em trying to name all the peeps that have played the role on Broadway. It’s the perfect taster in the lead up to the release of the movie, so settle in for all things Elphaba and Glinda and Wicked inside your ears. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em & Michael offer up final thoughts & make their predictions for the US election, plus we chat new Lady Gaga music & the upcoming ‘Wicked’ movie premiere & press junket.
