Summer blockbusters!

Elaine has show tunes, movie music, a bit of a different onstage mishap, and a look at big budget films that have become summer blockbusters.

Elaine has a bit of a different onstage mishap, songs from musicals including Sunday In The Park With George, Annie, In The Heights and Ballroom, and from film soundtracks including Jaws, Star Wars, La La Land and Mamma Mia. Plus, she takes a look at big budget movies that have become summer blockbusters, and talks about her first theatrical outing since before lockdown - a trip to see Opera Holland Park's al fresco concert performance of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music.
