S12 Ep1: Andy Nyman

The West End leading man and genius of the acting world on leading the new West End production of The Producers as Max Bialystock, the vitality of the show to a 2025 audience and the honour of joining a league of legends that have played Max before. Plus, we explore the unmatched brilliance of Mel Brooks, why the joy of this world - and his time in Hello, Dolly! Last summer at the Palladium - was and remains a tonic to him, as much as he knows it does for the audience. And, we explore his standout role in Fiddler on the Roof, crediting an audience with intelligence and - thanks to his star-turn in the Wicked movie – he’s Hot 100.
