We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new podcast, That’s Showbiz — a series created by three of our Senior Students, Grace King, Tess Morgan and Hollie Mason, dedicated to diving into the world of musicals, creativity, and everything that happens on and off the stage.
Whether you’re an aspiring performer, a long-time fan of theatre, or simply someone who loves a good behind-the-scenes story, this podcast is made for you. With every episode of That’s Showbiz, we invite you to step into the world of performance, where the lights are dazzling, the stakes are high, and every story is unique.
What You Can Expect
So, what exactly will you hear when you tune in? That’s Showbiz isn’t just another entertainment podcast — it’s a genuine and honest exploration of the creative industry by aspiring performers.
✨ Conversations about shows we’ve seen
We’ll talk in detail about productions we’ve attended, sharing our thoughts on the performances, staging, and creativity behind them. Expect open discussions, personal takes, and even ratings of the shows we experience. Whether it’s a Broadway-style musical, a community theatre gem, or a student production, we’ll break it down for you.
✨ The real life of a young performer
Theatre and performance may look glamorous from the outside, but behind the curtain, it takes hard work, resilience, and dedication. We will dive into the highs, lows, and unexpected challenges that performers face — from nerves before auditions to the joy of opening night. With guest appearances from students at HKPA and other industry voices, you’ll get an authentic look at what it means to pursue a creative path.
✨ Stories that inspire
We want to celebrate the passion and perseverance it takes to make it in the spotlight. You’ll hear inspiring journeys from performers at all stages of their careers — people who are chasing their dreams, taking risks, and growing along the way. These stories are honest, funny, heartfelt, and sometimes a little surprising.
From laugh-out-loud anecdotes to deeply moving lessons, That’s Showbiz is about more than just glitz and glamour — it’s about the real people, the struggles, and the triumphs that make theatre and performance so powerful.
Why We Created It
So, why did we decide to launch That’s Showbiz?
Musical theatre is often seen as a mysterious world, full of dazzling costumes, big voices, and show-stopping numbers. But for those on the inside, it’s also about countless rehearsals, late nights, and endless dedication. As three students passionate about theatre, we wanted to create something that shows the whole picture.
Our goal is to share authentic voices and real experiences, shining a light on the journey of performers — especially students at HKPA who are just beginning to carve their place in the industry. By opening up these conversations, we hope to give listeners a deeper appreciation for the art, effort, and hustle that go into making magic on stage.
We also know how important it is for performers and fans alike to feel connected to the community. That’s why this podcast isn’t just for students — it’s for anyone who loves the stage, enjoys the craft of performance, or simply wants to understand more about what goes on behind the curtain.
