Olivier Award winning choreographer and director Dame Arlene Phillips and TV Choice Award winning actor Bradley Riches go head-to-head to debate the biggest topics in pop culture – from the most iconic performances to the most overrated artists. Each week, they will argue their opinions, read listener-submitted messages, and get to the bottom of some of culture’s biggest conversations.

Has a celebrity ever stunned you with their performance in a musical? On this episode of Ask Me A Question, Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches are debating their favourite stunt performances on stage!

Arlene goes to bat for Nicole Scherzinger as Norma Desmond in her multi-award winning performance in Sunset Boulevard. They describe her performance as unexpectedly powerful, precise and emotionally broken! Brad goes broader - suggesting that the various celebrity castings in the West End revival of Cabaret should win.

Listener suggestions include Denise Van Outen in Chicago, Rachel Zegler in Evita (praised but considered predictably excellent), and Sarah Snook in The Picture of Dorian Gray (incredible but expected).
