MUSICALS Podcast: Edward Seckerson meets STEPHANIE J BLOCK

The Broadway star talks about the highs and lows of a hugely varied career, and her current joy at playing Lili Vanessi in Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate at the Barbican.

Edward Seckerson meets the fabulous Stephanie J Block, currently wowing London audiences as Lili Vanessi in Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate. Her astonishing career has taken her from a Broadway debut as the young Liza Minnelli in the Hugh Jackman vehicle The Boy From Oz to The Cher Show (wait till you hear her Cher voice in this interview!) and a long-overdue Tony Award. She and Seckerson talk of her life-changing journey with Elphaba – which she almost [ital] originated – in Wicked and Tony-nominated turns in Falsettos and The Mystery of Edwin Drood, plus the not-so-little matter of Boublil and Schoenberg’s ill-fated The Pirate Queen. One song still resonates: her glorious account of ‘Woman’, a performance for the ages.
