- Interview: “We Want This Show to Be a Beacon for Change': Tom Ling, Nick Butcher & Joe White Talk Representation, Collaboration and Joy in THE LITTLE BIG THINGS - As a disabled person, particularly a wheelchair user, opportunities to see people like myself represented are very few and far between. To be able to see a show that put authentic disability representation in a new musical was a game changer for me and I adore how much the creative team and cast love what they made.
- The Shows That Made Us: LES MISERABLES - I love when we do features like this, I think they're a fun way to reflect and get to know people. Les Miserables was the one that started my West End theatre going, gave me some amazing friendships, and certain performers who mean the world to me
