Ep 21 - Gwen Verdon (Part 1) [with Robert Madge]

Big Diva Energy

He’s been, Divas! He’s been!

That’s right, we promised you Madgic and that’s what you get, as we present this week’s guest, Their Madgesty himself - the only other two-time recipient of Diva of the Week (apart from Actual Madge) - Robert Madge is in his house!

We welcome Robert via Zoom, to talk about all things Gwen Verdon: one incredible half of the Fosse-Verdon collaboration that changed the face of musical theatre forever!

Nicole might have gone to a farm, but we’re here to guide you through the Fastest Little Tapper’s days in burlesque houses, her tutoring Marilyn Monroe on how to be sexy, all the way up to the faithful meeting with one Robert Fosse.

Along the way, we form a panel of the great and good of British Theatre to save the world, we live Julie and we are presented with the most meticulously planned rider in BDE history.

Strap in Divas, because this is a lively one!
