Over recent podcast episodes I've spoken to a large variety of guests. I've spoken to Community Theatre Royalty. As well as that - Josh Piterman (Eps. #011) is now starring as The Phantom on London’s West End and Bob Corff (Eps.#017) is being featured on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Today I am even luckier to have two guests both being featured in the same amazing ‘based on a true story’ musical. They need no introduction but I’ll say this…they were employees in an enchanted castle, turned into household items and helped their Master find love and break a spell. Welcome to Fantastic Fantastix – Lumiere and Cogsworth (aka. The very talented Lachlan O’Brien and Nathan Farrow) to discuss the Top 5 Musical Theatre Dynamic Duos. FANTASTIX BITS IN THE INTERVIEW What were Cogsworth and Lumiere’s first musicals? How did Cogsworth’s Swiss relatives help with his first role? How many clock puns are in this episode? Find out if Cogsworth can cope with an anticlockwise countdown? Which duos got bumped to honourable mentions Have we been pronouncing Les Mis character names incorrectly all along? Who starts a semantics war in this episode? Why Lumiere believes that Leo Bloom is a duo not a sidekick? Need we even ask who they put in the number one position? Why yang and yang does not work? Are all the good duos – ‘criminals’? For the record Cogsworth has never tried a priest! How have they handled the fame after starring in this Disney classic? Which role has Lumiere got his heart set on next? Try not to laugh out loud at Cogsworth’s comfort foods! I dare you. How do Cogsworth and Lumiere describe one another? What qualities does Cogsworth recommend for Paul’s kids?
