Next week will be Wonderful Town.

I like the programmes, they edit the songs together to make out the story, but play the btter ones in full - so tonight I imagine The Wizard and I, Popular and Defying Gravity will be in full. However, I don't think Michael Ball's that appropriate for the programme - his voice comes across as quite bland on radio.

Um, well nice to hear bits from Wicked again But, given that he allegedly saw the show, I wish Michael had got his facts right! He portrayed the story and characters wrongly

But its good to have a musicals programme on the radio. Those of us in the UK who love theatre are not well served by mainstream radio and television

Yes, please, what did he say that was incorrect?

Jake, do you have any idea which week he will talk about Boy From Oz?
